Jquery: Get Maximum value in An Array of Numbers

Question

With jquery, how can I get the maximum value in an array or numbers?

Example:

var myArray = [1,4,7,3,12,0]

Expected Output:-

maximum value = 12

[`.length`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/length) is plain JavaScript — Blazemonger, Feb 04 '13 at 18:58
You really need to be more clear in your question, then. A couple examples would help us understand what you mean. — Blazemonger, Feb 04 '13 at 19:23
Do you mean the last element? The maximum value? The number of elements in the array? — Bob Kaufman, Feb 04 '13 at 20:42

if by highest number you mean max value you don't need jQuery. You could do:

var myArray = [9,4,2,93,6,2,4,61,1];
var maxValueInArray = Math.max.apply(Math, myArray);

Using ES6 you could do `Math.max( ...myArray );` – DiverseAndRemote.com Sep 11 '15 at 13:45
