Return the greatest possible product of n numbers from the array in JavaScript
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of Numbers as the first argument and a number, say n, as the second argument.
Our function should calculate and return the greatest possible product of n numbers from the array.
Example
The code for this will be −
const getHighestProduct = (arr, num) => {
let prod = 1;
const sorter = (a, b) => a - b;
arr.sort(sorter);
if (num > arr.length || num & 2 && arr[arr.length - 1] < 0) {
return;
};
if (num % 2) {
prod = arr.pop();
num--;
};
while (num) {
prod *= arr[0] * arr[1] > arr[arr.length - 2] * arr[arr.length - 1]
? arr.shift() * arr.shift() : arr.pop() * arr.pop();
num -= 2;
};
return prod;
}
console.log(getHighestProduct([1, 10, -5, 1, -100], 3));
console.log(getHighestProduct([3, 4, 5, 6, 7], 3));
console.log(getHighestProduct([3, 4, -5, -6, -7], 3));Output
And the output in the console will be −
