import { maxN } from "https://deno.land/x/30_seconds_of_typescript@v1.0.1/util.ts";

Returns the n maximum elements from the provided array. If n is greater than or equal to the provided array's length, then return the original array (sorted in descending order).

Use Array.prototype.sort() combined with the spread operator (...) to create a shallow clone of the array and sort it in descending order. Use Array.prototype.slice() to get the specified number of elements. Omit the second argument, n, to get a one-element array.
