Question

So i have a script with 3 scores, and I want the code to find the highest score and print a message based on which variable is the highest score. I know that Math.max() finds the maximum, but I want it to find the variable name that has the maximum. How do i do this?

Answer 1

You can do the following

var score1 = 42;
var score2 = 13;
var score3 = 22;
var max = Math.max(score1, score2, score3);
if (max === score1) {
  // Then score1 has the max
} else if (max === score2) {
  // Then score2 has the max
} else {
  // Then score3 has the max 
}
