Returns `1` if an array of numbers is sorted in ascending order, `-1` if it is sorted in descending order or `0` if it is not sorted.
Returns `1` if a numeric array is sorted in ascending order, `-1` if it is sorted in descending order or `0` if it is not sorted.
- Calculate the ordering `direction` for every pair of adjacent array elements.
- Return `0` if the `direction` changes or the `direction` sign if the last element is reached.
- Calculate the ordering `direction` for the first pair of adjacent array elements.
- Return `0` if the given array is empty, only has one element or the `direction` changes for any pair of adjacent array elements.
- Use `Math.sign()` to covert the final value of `direction` to `-1` or `1`.
```js
const isSorted = arr => {
let direction = 0;
for (let i = 1; i < arr.length; i++) {
if (!direction) direction = arr[i] - arr[i - 1];
else if ((arr[i] - arr[i - 1]) * direction < 0) return 0;
if (arr.length <= 1) return 0;
const direction = arr[1] - arr[0];
for (let i = 2; i < arr.length; i++) {
if ((arr[i] - arr[i - 1]) * direction < 0) return 0;
}
return Math.sign(direction);
};
