Tell us what’s happening:
// i am trying this code from so long and don’t know why it is not working and other people are using apply. and it works I don’t understand it could you please help me
Your code so far


function largestOfFour(arr) {
let tst=[]
for(let i=0;i<arr.length;i++)
{
tst.push(Math.max(arr[i]))
}
return tst;
 
}

largestOfFour([[4, 5, 1, 3], [13, 27, 18, 26], [32, 35, 37, 39], [1000, 1001, 857, 1]]);

Hi @amanlad !

Welcome to the forum!

You are close.

However, you are incorrectly using math.max for an array.

I would suggest looking at the examples from MDN docs. Specifically the example they use for arrays and the spread operator. Then you can make the necessary change.

Hello @jwilkins.oboe , Welcome to the freecodecamp community.
The array provided in the function call is a 2 dimensional array. Therefore you have to loop twice.
e.g

for(){
 //this gets you into the array of arrays so that you can access each embedded array
   for(){
     //this will let you access each value within a specific array
   }
}

Hi @cacious8 !

If you run the code with the spread operator you will find that you don’t have to add the extra loop.

Because if you think about it arr[0] would return [4, 5, 1, 3]
and if you use Math.max(...arr[0]) it would return 5.

You could pass the test with just one for loop and the spread operator here

If you console.log(tst) then you will get [ 5, 27, 39, 1001 ] :grinning:

Yes, you are very much right. I just noticed the person asking the question is a beginner, so I just wanted to spread some clarity.

The spread operator is a better solution though.
