using filter() method in javascript to find largest number in an array

Question

I am new to javascript ,can anyone tell me is it possible to find the largest number in an array, using filter() method ,exclusively filter() method

Answer 1

Obviously filter is not the write function for that, but:

Math.max.apply(0, array);

If anyway you want to do this with filter, you can do something like this.

var arr = [...];
var a = arr[0];
var b = arr.filter(function(i){
  if (i > a) {
    a = i;
  }
  return i == a;
});
return b[b.length - 1];
