minMax method

A Node.js package that allows you to get the lowest and the highest number of an array with one function call.

Example

Currently, if you have an array of numbers and you want to get the lowest and the highest number you have to:

const nums = [12, 10, 25, 5]
const min = Math.min(nums)
const max = Math.max(nums)
console.log(min, max) // 5 25

...but with this lib, you are able to do:

const { minMax } = require('minimaximator')
const nums = [12, 10, 25, 5]
const [min, max] = minMax(nums)
console.log(min, max) // 5 25

Benchmark

There is benchmark in the benchmark folder that you can run. Here is a typical example with 100 numbers:

Two calls x 146,444 ops/sec ±1.67% (86 runs sampled)
Minmax function x 5,693,000 ops/sec ±0.64% (90 runs sampled)
Fastest is Minmax function

And here is a typical example with 100000 numbers:

Two calls x 25.93 ops/sec ±7.60% (40 runs sampled)
Minmax function x 9,315 ops/sec ±0.44% (89 runs sampled)
Fastest is Minmax function
