Is this answer acceptable in the real world?
How can I overcome this habit of hardcoding? (staticIndex)
This answer works only for 4 sub arrays
function largestOfFour(arr) {
// You can do this!
var staticIndex = [0, 1, 2, 3];
var ans = [];
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
var max = arr[staticIndex[i]][0];
for (var j = 1; j < arr[i].length; j++) {
if (arr[i][j] > max) {
max = arr[i][j];
}
}
ans.push(max);
}
return ans;
}
largestOfFour([[4, 5, 1, 3], [13, 27, 18, 26], [32, 35, 37, 39], [1000, 1001, 857, 1]]);
I thought of using higher order functions but I didn’t know how
