Prototype - Enumerable max() Method
This method returns the maximum element (or element-based computation), or undefined if the enumeration is empty. Elements are either compared directly, or by first applying the iterator and comparing the returned values.
The optional context parameter is what the iterator function will be bound to. If used, the this keyword inside the iterator will point to the object given by the argument.
Syntax
Iterator.max(context);
Return Value
Returns the maximum value.
Example
<html>
<head>
<title>Prototype examples</title>
<script type = "text/javascript" src = "/javascript/prototype.js"></script>
<script>
function showResult() {
alert("$R(1,10).max() : " + $R(1,10).max() );
// Returns 10
function Person(name, age) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}
var john = new Person('John', 20);
var mark = new Person('Mark', 35);
var daisy = new Person('Daisy', 22);
alert("Max Age:"+[john, mark, daisy].max(function(person) {
return person.age ;
}) );
}
</script>
