Use Math.max & Math.min & apply to get the value. The second paramater of apply function accepts an array

var x = [23,42,44,1,45,29,99,99,102];
console.log(Math. max. apply(null, x)) // 102
console.log(Math. min. apply(null, x)) //1

var max = Math.max.apply(Math, array); // max value
var max = Math.max.apply(Math, array); // max value
