how to use the max function from the underscore library in javascript

To use the max function from the Underscore library in JavaScript, you will need to start by including the Underscore library in your project. Then, assuming you have an array of numbers, you can use the max function to determine the highest number in the array.

Here's an example:

index.tsx
// Include Underscore library
const _ = require("underscore");

// Define an array of numbers
const numbers = [4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42];

// Use the max function to find the highest number
const highestNumber = _.max(numbers);

console.log(highestNumber); // Output: 42
267 chars
11 lines

In this example, we first include the Underscore library using the require function (assuming you're using Node.js). We then define an array of numbers and use the max function to find the highest number in the array. Finally, we log the result to the console, which should output 42.

Note that the max function can also accept an optional parameter that specifies an iteratee function to use for calculating values for each element in the array. This can be useful if you need to find the highest number based on some calculation, rather than just the raw number values.
