Mathias Bynens 8ee50178f3 Avoid confusing prototype methods for static methods
Correct: `Array.from()` (it’s a static method)
Incorrect: `Array.join()` (doesn’t exist; it’s a prototype method)

This patch uses the common `#` syntax to denote `.prototype.`.

### sortedLastIndexBy
Returns the highest index at which value should be inserted into array in order to maintain its sort order, based on a provided iterator function.
Check if the array is sorted in descending order (loosely).
Use `Array.prototype.map()` to apply the iterator function to all elements of the array.
Use `Array.prototype.reverse()` and `Array.prototype.findIndex()` to find the appropriate last index where the element should be inserted, based on the provided iterator function.
```js
const sortedLastIndexBy = (arr, n, fn) => {
const isDescending = fn(arr[0]) > fn(arr[arr.length - 1]);
const val = fn(n);
const index = arr
.map(fn)
.reverse()
.findIndex(el => (isDescending ? val <= el : val >= el));
return index === -1 ? 0 : arr.length - index;
};
```
```js
sortedLastIndexBy([{ x: 4 }, { x: 5 }], { x: 4 }, o => o.x); // 1
```
