Find the Maximum Value in an Array

The findMax function quickly identifies the largest number in an array using the Math.max function and the spread operator.

const findMax = (arr) => Math.max(...arr);

const values = [10, 20, 30, 5, 15];
console.log(findMax(values)); // Output: 30

How it works:

1. Spread Operator (...): Expands the array into individual elements.

2. Math.max: Finds the largest value among the provided elements.

Use Cases and Applications:

• Game Development: Determine the highest player score.

• Data Analysis: Identify peak values in numerical datasets.

• Performance Metrics: Compare numerical performance indicators.
