How to use Math min() method in Javascript

The min() method determine which number is the smallest in a group of numbers. It can accept any number of parameters:


var max = Math.max(3, 5, 3, 6); 
console.log(max); // 6/*  www.j  ava  2 s. c  o  m*/
    
var min = Math.min(3, 5, 3, 6); 
console.log(min); //3

The code above generates the following result.

To find the maximum or the minimum value in an array, you can use the apply() method as follows:


var values = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]; 
var min = Math.min.apply(Math, values); 
console.log(min);//1

The code above generates the following result.
