Hello

This post is a very straightforward one, basically it involves using javascript to calculate the lowest or highest number from either an array or from some definite variables.

One of the very useful possibilities of this is calculating the height and width of more than 3 columns and equalizing everything to the highest.

To achieve this we can use the Math.max() property and the Math.min() property.
