Question

I have the code:

if (votes > tmp) tmp = votes;

It does what it says on the tin: if var1 > var0 then var0 = var1

Is there a cleaner way to write this in Javascript?

Thank you!

Answer 1

You could use Math.max if you feel it’s cleaner…

tmp = Math.max(votes, tmp)

A comment below seems to suggest that you need the max of an Array.

If so, you can do this…

tmp = Math.max.apply(null, votes);

Or if you need to include the current tmp value, you can concat it in…

tmp = Math.max.apply(null, votes.concat(tmp));
