EJS array in JS function

Question

I have a scores array in my database. I want to extract maximum value from that array in my ejs webpage.

I am not sure but tried the following code:

<div>
       <%-Math.max(user.scores)%>
</div>

This not giving the desired result.

For eg if the scores array is [1, 4, 99, 2, 7], it should give me 99 on my webpage.

The javascript function Math.max() takes in a list of arguments and not a single argument aka an array.

Thus if you use the ES6 spread syntax for arrays it looks like this Math.max(...user.scores)

This will spread the elements of the array as arguments for the Math.max() function.
