Greatest element in a Multi-Dimensional Array in JavaScript
We have to write a simple function in JavaScript that takes in an array of Numbers (nested to any level) and return the greatest number present in the array.
For example:
If the input array is −
const arr = [ 34, 65, 67, [ 43, 76, 87, 23, 56, 7, [ 54, 7, 87, 23, 79, 994, 2 ], 54 ], 54, 4, 2 ];
Then the output should be −
994
We will use recursion to find the greatest number in the array,
Therefore, let’s write the code for this function −
Example
The code for this will be −
const arr = [ 34, 65, 67, [ 43, 76, 87, 23, 56, 7, [ 54, 7, 87, 23, 79, 994, 2 ], 54 ], 54, 4, 2 ]; const getGreatest = (arr, greatest = -Infinity) => { for(let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){ if(Array.isArray(arr[i])){ return getGreatest(arr[i], greatest); }; if(arr[i] > greatest){ greatest = arr[i]; } }; return greatest; }; console.log(getGreatest(arr));
Output
The output in the console will be −
994
