Alternative to Math.max and Math.min for BigInt type in Javascript

Question

In Javascript: Math.max and Math.min do not work for BigInt types.

For example:

> Math.max(1n, 2n)
Thrown:
TypeError: Cannot convert a BigInt value to a number
    at Math.max (<anonymous>)
>

Is there a built in function that performs these operations on BigInts?

Answer 1

how about

const bigIntMax = (...args) => args.reduce((m, e) => e > m ? e : m);
const bigIntMin = (...args) => args.reduce((m, e) => e < m ? e : m);

also if you want both then

const bigIntMinAndMax = (...args) => {
  return args.reduce(([min,max], e) => {
     return [
       e < min ? e : min, 
       e > max ? e : max,
     ];
  }, [args[0], args[0]]);
};

const [min, max] = bigIntMinAndMax(
   BigInt(40),
   BigInt(50),
   BigInt(30),
   BigInt(10),
   BigInt(20),
);
