You can use Math.min and Math.max methods on array variables to find the minimum and maximum elements within an array. Let’s create two functions to find the min and max value with in an array,
var marks = [50, 20, 70, 60, 45, 30];
function findMin(arr) {
return Math.min.apply(null, arr);
}
function findMax(arr) {
return Math.max.apply(null, arr);
}
console.log(findMin(marks));
console.log(findMax(marks));
Brute force approach: Incrementing loop by 1
We initialize two variables, max and min, with the first element.
Now we traverse array and compare each element with min and max. If X[i] < min, we update min with X[i]. …
By the end of loop, minimum and maximum elements of the array will be stored in min and max.
