Assigning values to array positions

var numbers = [time1, time2, time3];

    // Sorting the numbers array simply using the sort method
    numbers.sort(); // Sorts numbers array
    document.write(numbers + "<hr>"); // Outputs: 1,12,15,3,5,7,9
    /* Sorting the numbers array numerically in ascending order
    using the sort method and a compare function */
    numbers.sort(function(a, b){
        return a - b;
    });
    
    document.write(numbers); // Outputs: 1,3,5,7,9,12,15
    
}

This is my code at the moment. It reads three values defined elsewhere at runtime and puts them into the correct numerical order. How could I remove a value if it was equal to 0 and then assigning states to each number? Basically a first, second, and third basis for a race state.

What's "state"? – Cristian Traìna Sep 15 '20 at 14:21

And what's a race state? – Cristian Traìna Sep 15 '20 at 14:21

I was wondering about it too – Sep 15 '20 at 14:22

This could help you with removing the appropriate value - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5767325/how-can-i-remove-a-specific-item-from-an-array – whodeee Sep 15 '20 at 14:25

numbers = numbers.sort((a, b)=> a - b).filter(e => e != 0); after sortimng you can filter the result – gaetanoM Sep 15 '20 at 14:26
Note: The reason why your 1st sort (referring to *Sorting the numbers array simply using the sort method*) doesn't work as expected is because they are apparently strings – GetSet Sep 15 '20 at 14:32
I don'y mean Race state within any form of programming. I meant to say the states of a race meaning coming first second and third due to what time you got. Sorry that's my mistake. – Jonathan Sep 17 '20 at 09:14
