find the largest value in a map in typescript

To find the largest value in a TypeScript Map, you can use the Array.from() method to convert the Map to an array of values, and then use the Math.max() function to find the maximum value in the array. Here's an example code snippet:

index.ts
let myMap: Map<string, number> = new Map()
myMap.set("a", 10)
myMap.set("b", 20)
myMap.set("c", 30)

let largestValue = Math.max(...Array.from(myMap.values()))

console.log(`The largest value in myMap is ${largestValue}`)
222 chars
9 lines

In this example, we first create a new Map myMap with key-value pairs. Then we convert the Map values to an array using the Array.from() method, and use the spread operator ... to pass the array elements as arguments to the Math.max() function. The result is the largest value in the Map, which we store in the largestValue variable.

Finally, we log the result to the console using a template string. The output will be:

index.ts
The largest value in myMap is 30
33 chars
