I am new to TypeScript and I am trying following 

 const storedNumber = [1,2,3,4,5];
 Math.max(storedNumber)

but I kept typescript error saying

argument of type 'any ' is not assignable to parameter of type number

  • Read the documentation on [`Math.max([value1[, value2[, ...]]])`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/max) – Andreas Apr 09 '18 at 15:09

    `Math.max` doesn't accept an array. It accepts discrete values. If you need to get the max of an array, use `var result = Math.max.apply(Math, theArray)` or on modern JavaScript environments `var result = Math.max(...theArray);`. – T.J. Crowder Apr 09 '18 at 15:12

Math.max requires numbers as arguments like Math.max(1, 3, 2) not an array. You can spread the array.

const storedNumber = [1,2,3,4,5];

console.log(  Math.max(...storedNumber) );
