How to find a nearest higher number from a specific set of numbers: JavaScript ?
We have a set of numbers and our requirement is to find the same or the nearest higher number key to a specific number provided as the input to the function.
The set of numbers is defined as −
const numbers = {
A:107,
B:112,
C:117,
D:127,
E:132,
F:140,
G:117,
H:127,
I:132,
J:132,
K:140,
L:147,
M:117,
N:127,
O:132
};
Example
The code for this will be −
const numbers = {
A:107,
B:112,
C:117,
D:127,
E:132,
F:140,
G:117,
H:127,
I:132,
J:132,
K:140,
L:147,
M:117,
N:127,
O:132
};
const nearestHighest = (obj, val) => {
let diff = Infinity;
const nearest = Object.keys(obj).reduce((acc, key) => {
let difference = obj[key] - val;
if (difference >= 0 && difference < diff) {
diff = difference;
acc = [key];
}
return acc;
}, [])
return nearest;
};
console.log(nearestHighest(numbers, 140));
Output
And the output in the console will be −
['F']
