How might I find the largest number contained in a JavaScript array?

algorithm, arrays, javascript, max

Solution

Resig to the rescue:

Array.max = function( array ){
    return Math.max.apply( Math, array );
};

Warning: since the maximum number of arguments is as low as 65535 on some VMs, use a for loop if you're not certain the array is that small.

Problem

I have a simple JavaScript Array object containing a few numbers. ``` [267, 306, 108] ``` Is there a function that would find the largest number in this array?
