Question

Let\'s say I have a string of numbers separated by spaces and I want to return the highest and lowest number. How could that best be done in JS using a function? Example:

Answer 1

OK, let's see how we can make a short function using ES6...

You have this string-number:

const num = "1 2 3 4 5";

and you create a function like this in ES6:

const highestAndLowest = nums => {
  nums = nums.split(" ");
  return `${Math.max(...nums)} ${Math.min(...nums)}`;
}

and use it like this:

highestAndLowest("1 2 3 4 5"); //return "5 1"
