Script Preparation code:

var arr1 = [];
var arr2 = [];
var arr3 = [];
var arr4 = [];

for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
    arr1.push(getRandom());
    arr2.push(getRandom());
    arr3.push(getRandom());
    arr4.push(getRandom());

    arr1.sort();
    arr2.sort();
    arr3.sort();
    arr4.sort();
}

function getRandom() {
    const minimum = 1;
    const maximum = 1000;
    var randomnumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * (maximum - minimum + 1)) + minimum;
