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

After reading everyone's comments (thank you for your interest), I found that the "best" way (least amount of code, best performing) to do this was to simply sort the Array, and then grab the first value in the Array:

var myArray:Array /* of Number */ = [2,3,3,4,2,2,5,6,7,2];

myArray.sort(Array.NUMERIC);

var minValue:int = myArray[0];

This also works for an Array of Objects - you simply use the Array.sortOn() function and specify a property:

// Sample data
var myArray:Array /* of XML */ = 
    [
    
    
    
    
    
    ]

// Perform a descending sort on the specified attribute in Array to get the maximum value
myArray.sortOn("@level", Array.DESCENDING | Array.NUMERIC);

var lowestLevel:int = myArray[0].@level;

I hope this helps someone else someday!
