js+how to get max and second max from an array code example

Example 1: max value in array javascript

// For large data, it's better to use reduce. Supose arr has a large data in this case:
const arr = [1, 5, 3, 5, 2];
const max = arr.reduce((a, b) => { return Math.max(a, b) });

// For arrays with relatively few elements you can use apply: 
const max = Math.max.apply(null, arr);

// or spread operator:
const max = Math.max(...arr);

Example 2: js max value of array

let numbers = [4, 13, 27, 0, -5]; // Get max value of an array in Javascript

Math.max.apply(null, numbers); // returns 27
