how to find biggest value in array code example
Example 1: find biggest number in javascript array
var peopleData = [
{ name: "Paul", height: 180, age: 21 },
{ name: "Johnny", height: 198, age: 43 },
{ name: "Brad", height: 172, age: 49 },
{ name: "Dwayne", height: 166, age: 15 }
];
//Find biggest height number
var maxHeight = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < heights.length; i++) {
if (peopleData[i].height > maxHeight) {
maxHeight = peopleData[i].height;
//if you console.log(maxHeight); you should get 198
}
}
Example 2: Write a function that returns the largest element in a list
def return_largest_element(array):
largest = 0
for x in range(0, len(array)):
if(array[x] > largest):
largest = array[x]
return largest
Example 3: maximum number from Array
---without sort method---
public static int maxValue( int[] n ) {
int max = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
for(int each: n)
if(each > max)
max = each;
return max;
---with sort method---
public static int maxValue( int[] n ) {
Arrays.sort( n );
return n [ n.lenth-1 ];
}
