1431. Kids with Greatest Number of Candies

Difficulty: EASY

Problem description can be found here

Approach

One learning point or “recap” for me was to use Math.max(...numArr) to easily find the max number in an array of numbers in JavaScript.

Solution

function kidsWithCandies(candies: number[], extraCandies: number): boolean[] {
  const currentMax = Math.max(...candies);

  const output: boolean[] = [];
  for (const candy of candies) {
    if (candy + extraCandies >= currentMax) {
      output.push(true);
    } else {
      output.push(false);
    }
  }

  return output;
}
