Returning the highest number from object properties value – JavaScript



Suppose, we have an object that contains rating of a property over some criteria like this −

const rating = {    "overall": 92,    "atmosphere": 93,    "cleanliness": 94,    "facilities": 89,    "staff": 94,    "security": 92,    "location": 88,    "valueForMoney": 92 }

We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in one such object and returns the key value pair that has the highest value.

For example, for this very object, the output should be −

const output = {    "staff": 94 };

Example

Following is the code −

const rating = {    "overall": 92,    "atmosphere": 93,    "cleanliness": 94,    "facilities": 89,    "staff": 94,    "security": 92,    "location": 88,    "valueForMoney": 92 } const findHighest = obj => {    const values = Object.values(obj);    const max = Math.max.apply(Math, values);    for(key in obj){       if(obj[key] === max){          return {             [key]: max          };       };    }; }; console.log(findHighest(rating));

Output

This will produce the following output in console −

{ cleanliness: 94 }
