What is the most efficient way to get the highest and the lowest values in a Array
- by meo
is there something like PHP: max() in javascript?
lets say i have an array like this:
[2, 3, 23, 2, 2345, 4, 86, 8, 231, 75]
and i want to return the highest and the lowest value in this array. What is the fastest way to do that?
i have tried:
function madmax (arr) {
var max = arr[0],
min = arr[1]
if (min > max) {
max = arr[1]
min = arr[0]
}
for (i=1;i<=arr.length;i++){
if( arr[i] > max ) {
max = arr[i]
}else if( arr[i] < min ) {
min = arr[i]
}
}
return max, min
}
madmax([123, 2, 345, 153, 5, 98, 456, 4323456, 1, 234, 19874, 238, 4])
Is there a simpler way retrieve the max and min value of a array?
