We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of Numbers and returns the smallest number from it using recursion.
Let’s say the following are our arrays −
const arr1 = [-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-7,-8]; const arr2 = [-2, 5, 3, 0];
The code for this will be −
const arr1 = [-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-7,-8];
const arr2 = [-2, 5, 3, 0];
const min = arr => {
const helper = (a, ...res) => {
if (!res.length){
return a;
};
if (a < res[0]){
res[0] = a;
};
return helper(...res);
};
return helper(...arr);
}
console.log(min(arr1));
console.log(min(arr2));Following is the output on console −
-8 -2
