Getting the min and max value in JavaScript, but from a 2D array

Question

I know this gets asked again and again but hear me out - this question is slightly different.

I can get a max or min from a 1D array like this:

var          


        

Answer 1

That array you have in the post is interesting, but this works for it.

var array = [[[1, 112.0],[2,5.12],[3,113.1],[4,33.6],[5,85.9],[6,219.9]]];
function getMax(a){
    var max = a[0][0][1];
    for(var i = 0; i< a[0].length; i++){
        if(a[0][i][1] > max)
            max = a[0][i][1];
    }
    return max;
}
