Where is the mistake

[Lindrit]

Can someone tell me what did I do here wrong?

function largestOfFour(arr) {
//Empty array to store the values
let array = [];
let largest = 1;
//Loop through the array
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
  for (let j = 0; j < arr[i].length; j++) {
    //condition
    if (arr[i][j] > largest) {
      largest = arr[i][j];
    }
  }
  array.push(largest);
}
return array;
}

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

Challenge: Return Largest Numbers in Arrays

two things

1. You are initializing largest as 1, but at-least one of the input arrays has all negative values. This will give you issues.
2. You are going to want to reset the value of largest after comparing a set of 4 values. The way you have it now, if your input is ([1, 2, 3, 4], [0,1,2,3]) your output will be [4,4].

Let me know if this helps.

DavidMatthewFraser has the main points covered, I would just hop on to add that you don’t need to initialize your largest to anything.

What you have is very, very close to working.
