What is the best way to get the minimum or maximum value from an Array of numbers?

Question

Let\'s say I have an Array of numbers: [2,3,3,4,2,2,5,6,7,2]

What is the best way to find the minimum or maximum value in that Array?

Right now,

Answer 1

Shortest way :

Math.min.apply(null,array); //this will return min value from array
Math.max.apply(null,array); //this will return max value from array

otherway of getting min & max value from array

 function maxVal(givenArray):Number
    {
    var max = givenArray[0];
    for (var ma:int = 0; ma max)
    {
    max = givenArray[ma];
    }
    }
    return max;
    }

    function minVal(givenArray):Number
    {
    var min = givenArray[0];
    for (var mi:int = 0; mi

As you can see, the code in both of these functions is very similar. The function sets a variable - max (or min) and then runs through the array with a loop, checking each next element. If the next element is higher than the current, set it to max (or min). In the end, return the number.
