How to use Math.max and Max.min functions in an Array?

Question

I tried this method in an array to get min and max values but it doesn't work.

var array = [3, 6, 1, 5, 0, -2, 3];
var min = Math.min( array ); 
var max = Math.max( array ); 
document.write(max);

Answer 1

Use Function.apply

min = Math.min.apply(null, array);
min = Math.max.apply(null, array);

apply is very similar to call(), except for the type of arguments it supports. You can use an arguments array instead of a named set of parameters. With apply, you can use an array literal

Answer 2

Try this.

function minmax(){
  var max = Math.max.apply(Math, arguments);
  var min = Math.min.apply(Math, arguments);
  console.log(max);  // print 6
  console.log(min); // print -2
}
minmax (3, 6, 1, 5, 0, -2, 3);
