Something is wrong in Return Largest Numbers in Arrays


function largestOfFour(arr) {
   var largestNumber = [0,0,0,0];
   for(var arrayIndex = 0; arrayIndex < arr.length; arrayIndex++) {
    for(var subArrayIndex = 0; subArrayIndex < arr[arrayIndex].length; subArrayIndex++) {
       if(arr[arrayIndex][subArrayIndex] > largestNumber[arrayIndex]) {         
          largestNumber[arrayIndex] = arr[arrayIndex][subArrayIndex];
        }
    }
 }
 return largestNumber;
}
largestOfFour([[17, 23, 25, 12], [25, 7, 34, 48], [4, -10, 18, 21], [-72, -3, -17, -10]]);

what is wrong in my code ?

I could not understand why I can’t return [25, 48, 21, -3] in my code.

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into the forum, precede it with a line of three backticks and follow it with a line of three backticks to make easier to read. See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.

Hi,

Because -3 is not greater than 0.

In that test case the zero you prepacked your array with was the largest number tested.
