Return Largest Numbers in Arrays - Got answers but not counting as correct

Hey all, for some reason when I run the below code as an answer to this challenge I do get the answers that the instructions say I should get.
However, when I run the test I’m failing on the 2nd through final challenges.

What could I be doing wrong here?
My only guess is I ended up doing the Functional Programming section out of order, so I applied the .map method here instead of using a normal for loop.

Your code so far


function largestOfFour(arr) {
  let temp_arr = [];
  temp_arr.push(arr.map(x => x.sort(function(a, b){return b-a})[0]));
  return temp_arr;
};


console.log(largestOfFour([[4, 5, 1, 3], [13, 27, 18, 26], [32, 35, 37, 39], [1000, 1001, 857, 1]]));
console.log(largestOfFour([[13, 27, 18, 26], [4, 5, 1, 3], [32, 35, 37, 39], [1000, 1001, 857, 1]]));
console.log(largestOfFour([[4, 9, 1, 3], [13, 35, 18, 26], [32, 35, 97, 39], [1000000, 1001, 857, 1]]));
console.log(largestOfFour([[17, 23, 25, 12], [25, 7, 34, 48], [4, -10, 18, 21], [-72, -3, -17, -10]]));

Link to the challenge:

You’re returning a nested array like this: [[27, 5, 39, 1001]]. You need to return just a single array like this. [27, 5, 39, 1001]

The reason for nested array is, arr.map returns an array, and you push that array into another temp_arr array.

Hint: Your temp_arr can be removed and your solution will become a one-liner!

Oh… wow, that was not really apparent in my console.log data! It looked like a non-nested array in it!
Thanks for catching it!
