Find the min/max element of an Array in JavaScript

Question

How can I easily obtain the min or max element of a JavaScript Array?

Example Psuedocode:

let array = [100, 0, 50]

array.min() //=> 0
array.max()         


        

Answer 1

ChaosPandion's solution works if you're using protoype. If not, consider this:

Array.max = function( array ){
    return Math.max.apply( Math, array );
};

Array.min = function( array ){
    return Math.min.apply( Math, array );
};

The above will return NaN if an array value is not an integer so you should build some functionality to avoid that. Otherwise this will work.
