So, there’s an if
statement and it’s condition Math.max() > 0
is all we need to analyze.
If your first guess was that Math.max()
should return some big number that’s for sure bigger than 0
, then you’re wrong.
In JavaScript Math.max()
takes a variable number of arguments and returns the biggest one. The comparison starts at the very bottom, which in JS is -Infinity
because it’s smaller than all other numbers.
This is why if no arguments are provided to the Math.max()
, it will return -Infinity
.
As -Infinity
is smaller than 0
, we’ll go into the else
branch of the conditional statement.
