I have a multidimensional array that has name and integer values in them. I need to be able to compare the integer value in each array in the multidimensional array. how can I compare and return that array?
var totals = [
['john', 'test', 45],
['bob', 'tester', 75]
];
How can I loop over the arrays in the "totals" array and return the one with the largest integer value?
You could use reduce. For example:
var totals = [
['john', 'test', 45],
['john', 'test', 46],
['john', 'test', 42],
['john', 'test', 41]
];
var biggest = totals.reduce((a, b) => a[2] > b[2] ? a : b);
console.log(biggest);
Fiddle here
It should be noted, that if reduce() is not supplied with an initial value, then a becomes the first, and b becomes the second in the first call.
var largest = totals.reduce((prev, cur) => prev[2] > cur[2] ? prev : cur, [0,0,0]);
var result = totals.reduce((p, c) => {
return p[2] > c[2] ? p : c;
});
console.log(result);
