Didn’t belive it. tried it. died a little more inside.
From MDN:
If compareFn is not supplied, all non-undefined array elements are sorted by converting them to strings and comparing strings in UTF-16 code units order.
So, if you’re trying to sort numbers,
[6, -2, 2, -7].sort((a, b) => a - b)That might be explainable, but doesn’t make it logical or acceptable.
Imagine going for a JavaScript coding interview and failing because of this 😂
That’s a good point lol, I haven’t done a js interview yet but it’d probably be kinda rough trying to remember random shit like this.
Meh, it’s a day 2 thing to understand how shitty JS deals with numbers. Good devs will cover their asses by default.
Blessed are those that use
Array.sortwithout passing it arguments
