Getting the maximum number out of a list of numbers!

Question

I need someone to show me an example of a function that returns the maximum number out of any given amount of parameters.
NOTE:please do not use predefined functions like Math.max() e.t.c Do not use anything from Math library,create your own functions from scratch.This is not a challenge,i just need help😊Thanks!

Answer 1

There's a few things that would determine the best way to do that including how are the arguments being passed in ie as in an array vector or individual arguments. if your passing as an array or placing them in an array the easiest method is to do a sort placing them in order.

what does knowing the strength and weakness of JavaScript have to do here?I'm returning the closest IP addresses of individuals,something the "standard library function" cannot do,thats why I need to know how it works so I can modify it.

Answer 9

take a variable max with value of 0 and put conditional statement
example:
int max=0;
using loop according to your question
{
if(number>max)
{
max=number;
}
update your number;
}
your work is doooone!😊

Answer 11

@Brains, you didn't tag the question, so is the question for Java or JavaScript? or other language?

Maybe I'm the only one here who suffers with python and tries ruby 😓

Answer 17

Assuming JavaScript, you can use arguments object for functions with variable number of arguments.

function foo()
{
if(arguments.length < 1) return 0;
var rv = arguments[0] < 0 ? 0 : arguments[0];
for(i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++)
if(rv < arguments[i]) rv = arguments[i];
return rv;
}

window.onload = function()
{
console.log(foo(-5,-3,-1,0,1,3,5));
console.log(foo(26,2,2018));
console.log(foo(1,2,4,8));
console.log(foo(-10));
console.log(foo());
};

I still don't get what this has to do with IP number though : )

Answer 18

array=[a,b,c,...,x]
count=size(array)
max= minimum posible value
for(indx=1 to count)
if array[indx] > max
max=array[indx]
position=indx
end
end

pseudocode 😀

Answer 20

It can be done by sorting the list in ascending or descending order.. and print the first or last number
