Insertion Sort - Part 2

    Hey, converted your answer to JS, but it will only pass first 2 test, thought?

    for (var i = 1; i < array.length; i++) {
  var j = i;
  var value = array[i];
  while (j >= 1 && (array[j-1] > value)) {
    array[j] = array[j-1];
    j--;
  }
  array[j] = value;
  console.log(array.join(' '));
}

      Looks identical. My full solution also prints a newline after each array. My best guess is to make sure the output looks like the expected output in the testcase.

      HackerRank solutions.

        It might be sorting the numbers 'alphabetically' instead of 'numerically'....my JS code only passed the first two tests until I realised this. Need the array contents to be integers not string characters. So my array was looking like 2,20,23,26,3,4,5,52, 6 etc
