/** * Returns the first element having the largest value according to the provided * comparator or undefined if there are no elements. * * The comparator is expected to work exactly like one passed to `Array.sort`, which means * that `comparator(a, b)` should return a negative number if `a < b`, a positive number if `a > b` * and `0` if `a == b`. * * Example: * * ```ts * import { maxWith } from "https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/collections/max_with.ts"; * import { assertEquals } from "https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/testing/asserts.ts"; * * const people = ["Kim", "Anna", "John", "Arthur"]; * const largestName = maxWith(people, (a, b) => a.length - b.length); * * assertEquals(largestName, "Arthur"); * ``` */export function maxWith<T>( array: readonly T[], comparator: (a: T, b: T) => number,): T | undefined { let max: T | undefined = undefined; let isFirst = true;
