How to get the largest element in a Number type array

This time I will show you how to get the largest element in the Number type array, and what are the precautions for getting the largest element in the Number type array. The following is a practical case, let's take a look.

1. Do not use any library function

The code is as follows:

function findMax1 (arr) {
  let result = 0;
  if (Array.isArray(arr)) {
    for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
      result = arr[i] > result ? arr[i] : result;
    }
    
    return result;
  } else {
    console.error('The parameter arr is not an array');
    return;
  }
}

Explanation:

Use a variable result to store the maximum value. Traverse the array to be searched. If the currently traversed element is greater than result, assign this element to result.

2. Use Array.reduce()

The code is as follows:

function findMax2 (arr) {
  let result = 0;
  if (Array.isArray(arr)) {
    result = arr.reduce((a, b) => {
      return a > b ? a : b;
    }, 0);
    
    return result;
  } else {
    console.error('The parameter arr is not an array');
    return;
  }
}

Explanation:

The reduce method is through a function , for an accumulator and each element in the array, ultimately reducing an array to a single value.

reduce accepts two parameters:

The first one is callback, which is the function mentioned earlier. It has four parameters:

1. accumulator: Accumulator, which is the result of the last callback run. If initialValue is provided, then the first time is initialValue;

2. currentValue: the elements of the currently traversed array;

3. currentIndex: the currently traversed The index of the array element, starting from 0. If initialValue is provided, it starts from 1;

4. array: the array to which reduce is currently applied.

The second is initialValue, which is an initial value and is used as the first actual parameter of the first run of the callback function. This is optional. Please note here that if this parameter is not provided and is applied to an empty array, an error will be reported.

Then the meaning of the above code is that each time

traverses the array for comparison, the larger one is left, that is, the accumulator, and is used for the next comparison with the array elements. In the end, only this value is left, which is the maximum value.

3. Use Apply and Math.max()

The code is as follows:

function findMax3 (arr) {
  let result = 0;
  if (Array.isArray(arr)) {
    result = Math.max.apply(null, arr);
    
    return result;
  } else {
    console.error('The parameter arr is not an array');
    return;
  }
}

Explanation:

apply explanation is slightly clearer Complex, no further explanation required.

It accepts two parameters, the first is thisArg and the second is argsArray. Both are optional. To put it simply, when using a function, the parameters are passed in as an array.

4. Only use Math.max()

The code is as follows:

function findMax4 (arr) {
  let result = 0;
  if (Array.isArray(arr)) {
    result = Math.max(...arr);
    
    return result;
  } else {
    console.error('The parameter arr is not an array');
    return;
  }
}

Explanation:

Based on the previous solution The idea is that in ES6, there is a spread operator (...) that can separate the elements in an array into a comma-separated sequence. Just meets the needs of the Math.max() function.

Let me introduce to you some knowledge points related to number, Math and arrays in JS

1. Number object.

How to create a Number object:

Method 1:

var variable = new Number (number)

Method 2:

var variable = number;

Commonly used method:

toString() Convert the number into a string in the specified base form. (Enter a number and it will be converted into a number, number.toString(2))

toFixed() specifies that decimal places are retained and it also has a rounding function.

2. Math　

Math objectCommonly used methods:

ceil round up

floor() round down

random() random number method // The pseudo-random number generated is between 0 and 1 (including 0, excluding 1),

round rounding

3 ,

Array arrayObject:

Method to create an array 1:

var variable name = new Array(); Create an array with a length of 0.

Method 2:

var variable name = new Array(length) creates an array object of specified length.

Method 3:

var variable name = new Array("Element 1", "Element 2"...); Create an array object by specifying elements in the array.

Method 4:

var 变量名 = ["元素1","元素2"...];

数组要注意的细节：

1. 在javascript中数组的长度是可以发生变化的。

var arr = new Array(); //创建了一个长度为0的数组对象。
arr[100] = 10;
document.write("arr长度："+arr.length+"<br/>");
var arr2 = new Array("狗娃","狗剩","铁蛋");
arr2 = ["狗娃","狗剩","铁蛋","张三"];
document.write("arr2长度："+arr2.length+"<br/>");

3.1数字的方法

a、concat把arr1与arr2的数组元素组成一个新的数组返回。　　
arr1 = arr1.concat(arr2);

b、join使用指定的分隔符把数组中的元素拼装成一个字符串返回。

var elements = arr1.join(",");

c、pop ：移除数组中的最后一个元素并返回该元素。

d、push：将新元素添加到一个数组中，并返回数组的新长度值。

arr1.push("你好");

e、reverse(); 翻转数组的元素

f、slice指定数组 的开始索引值与结束索引值截取数组的元素，并且返回子数组。（包头不包尾）

var subArr = arr1.slice(1,2);

g、sort排序，排序的时候一定要传入排序的方法。（不传时默认是按照ASCII表排列）

arr1 = [19,1,20,5];
arr1.sort(sortNumber); //排序，排序的时候一定要传入排序的方法。
function sortNumber(num1,num2){ 
return num1-num2;
}

h、splice第一个参数是开始删除元素的 索引值， 第二参数是删除元素的个数，往后的数据就是插入的元素（也可以不写）。

arr1.splice(1,1,"张三","李四","王五");
