JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:
Although its returning correct value in console but its not passing the two test cases.
smallestCommons([23, 18])
smallestCommons([1, 13])

Your code so far


function smallestCommons(arr) {
  if(arr[1]>arr[0]){
    return compaare(arr[0],arr[1])
  }else{
    return compaare(arr[1],arr[0])
  }
  
}

function compaare(x,y){
      let i = x ;
    while(true){
      // debugger;
      if(i%x==0 && i%y==0){
          let j=0;
        for(j=x+1;j<y;j++){
            if(i%j!=0){
              i++;
              break;
            }
        }
        if(j==y){
          console.log(i);
            return i;
        }
      }else{
        i++;
      }
    }
}

smallestCommons([1,13]);

Hey @shambhukbhakta,

Your code needs to be efficient to pass the challenge.

Your code is activating the FCC’s infinite loop protection.

So, try to make your code a little efficient.

All the best.
