javascript question here...
I need to find the highest number in an array and then return where in the array this number is. It cannot be sorted as this needs to match up with a word in another array. Heres the array:
var array1 = dan, john, james, harry, mike;
var array2 = 66, 33, 85, 34, 45;
Basically the number must match up with the name its already with. If anyone has the answer I would be most happy :)
Thanks
var array1 = [ 'dan', 'john', 'james', 'harry', 'mike' ],
array2 = [ 66, 33, 85, 34, 45 ],
maxPos = Math.max.apply( null, array2 ),
posInArr = array2.indexOf( maxPos );
console.log( array1[ posInArr ] ); // 'james'
The above code demonstrates the usage of Math.max() and Array.prototype.indexOf() to get the highest number within array2 and then find the index of that number in that array.
here is search script:
var array1 = ['dan', 'john', 'james', 'harry', 'mike'];
var array2 = [66, 33, 85, 34, 45];
var max = array2.length-1;
for (var i=array2.length-1; i--;) {
if (array2[i] > array[max]) {
max = i;
}
}
alert(array1[max]);
var array1 = dan, john, james, harry, mike;
Array.max = function( array ){
return array1.indexOf(Math.max.apply( Math, array ));
};
You can read your array into a loop. If the number read is higher than the previous one, store it into a variable, with a second variable for its index.
At the end you'll have the max of your array and its index.
