How to find the shortest word in JavaScript array using ES5?

Answer 1

var arr = ['cats', 'giants', 'daughters', 'ice'];
var min = Math.min.apply(Math, arr.map(function(str) { return str.length; }));
console.log(min);

I mean seriously? If u don't know you could have just googled)) It took me literally 5 seconds...

Answer 2

function shortestWord(words) {
const lengths = words.map(w =>w.length);

// shortest length
const min = Math.min(...lengths);

const shortestObj = words.map(word => ({word, length: word.length})).find(wo => wo.length===min);

// shortest word (first found)
const shortest = shortestObj.word

return shortest;
}
