Finds the highest index at which a value should be inserted into an array in order to maintain its sort order.
- Loosely check if the array is sorted in descending order.
- Use `Array.prototype.reverse()` and `Array.prototype.findIndex()` to find the appropriate last index where the element should be inserted.
```js
const sortedLastIndex = (arr, n) => {
const isDescending = arr[0] > arr[arr.length - 1];
const index = arr
.reverse()
.findIndex(el => (isDescending ? n <= el : n >= el));
return index === -1 ? 0 : arr.length - index;
};
```
```js
sortedLastIndex([10, 20, 30, 30, 40], 30); // 4
```
