πŸ’» CODE SNIPPET OF THE DAY

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.

🧰 CODING TOOLBOX

  • i-html - a drop in tag that allows for dynamically importing html, inline. It's a bit like an <iframe>, except the html gets adopted into the page.

  • remote-storage - a simple library that combines the localStorage API with a remote server to persist data across sessions, devices, and browsers. It works as a simple key value database store and backend with support for React, Next.js, Vue, Node, or any Javascript stack.

  • PDFSlick - a library that enables viewing of and interaction with PDF documents in React and SolidJS apps. It's build on top of Mozilla's PDF.js, and utilises Zustand to provide a reactive state for the loaded documents.

  • balloons-js - Animated balloons effect for your website.

  • screenshot-to-code - Drop in a screenshot and convert it to clean code (HTML/Tailwind/React/Vue)
