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

var list = [
  [1, 112.0],
  [2, 5.12],
  [3, 113.1],
  [4, 33.6],
  [5, 85.9],
  [6, 219.9]
];

function getMinMax(list) {

  var min = +Infinity;
  var max = -Infinity;

  for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
    var touple = list[i];

    var val = touple[1];
    console.log(touple);
    console.log(val);

    min = Math.min(min, val);
    max = Math.max(max, val);
  }

  return {
    min: min,
    max: max
  };

}

console.log(getMinMax(list));
