Get max and min value from array in JavaScript

Question

I am creating the following array from data attributes and I need to be able to grab the highest and lowest value from it so I can pass it to another function later on.

Answer 1

use this and it works on both the static arrays and dynamically generated arrays.

var array = [12,2,23,324,23,123,4,23,132,23];
var getMaxValue = Math.max.apply(Math, array );

I had the issue when I use trying to find max value from code below

$('#myTabs').find('li.active').prevAll().andSelf().each(function () {
            newGetWidthOfEachTab.push(parseInt($(this).outerWidth()));
        });

        for (var i = 0; i < newGetWidthOfEachTab.length; i++) {
            newWidthOfEachTabTotal += newGetWidthOfEachTab[i];
            newGetWidthOfEachTabArr.push(parseInt(newWidthOfEachTabTotal));
        }

        getMaxValue = Math.max.apply(Math, array);

I was getting 'NAN' when I use

    var max_value = Math.max(12, 21, 23, 2323, 23);

with my code
