Min/Max
This technique is not specific to CoffeeScript, but I thought it
useful to demonstrate anyway. Math.max
and Math.min take multiple arguments,
so you can easily use ... to pass an
array to them, retrieving the maximum and minimum values in the
array:
Math.max [14, 35, -7, 46, 98]... # 98 Math.min [14, 35, -7, 46, 98]... # -7
Itâs worth noting that this trick will fail with really large arrays, as browsers have a limitation on the amount of arguments you can pass to functions.
