Practice - Find Maximum

Search pattern

Find the largest number in an array:

let numbers = [42, 17, 89, 23, 56]
let max = numbers[0]  // Start with first element

for (let num of numbers) {
  if (num > max) {
    max = num
  }
}

console.log(`Maximum: ${max}`)  // 89

Starting with the first element (not $0$ ) handles negative numbers correctly.
