Sorts an array of numbers, using the insertion sort algorithm.
- Use `Array.prototype.reduce()` to iterate over all the elements in the given array.
- If the `length` of the accumulator is `0`, add the current element to it.
- Use `Array.prototype.some()` to iterate over the results in the accumulator until the correct position is found.
- Use `Array.prototype.splice()` to insert the current element into the accumulator.
```js
const insertionSort = arr =>
arr.reduce((acc, x) => {
if (!acc.length) return [x];
acc.some((y, j) => {
if (x <= y) {
acc.splice(j, 0, x);
return true;
}
if (x > y && j === acc.length - 1) {
acc.splice(j + 1, 0, x);
return true;
}
return false;
});
return acc;
}, []);
```
```js
insertionSort([6, 3, 4, 1]); // [1, 3, 4, 6]
```
