Example

Currently, if you have an array of numbers and you want to get the lowest and the highest number you have to:

const nums = [12, 10, 25, 5]
const min = Math.min(nums)
const max = Math.max(nums)
console.log(min, max) // 5 25

...but with this lib, you are able to do:

const { minMax } = require('minimaximator')
const nums = [12, 10, 25, 5]
const [min, max] = minMax(nums)
console.log(min, max) // 5 25

Benchmark

There is benchmark in the benchmark folder that you can run. Here is a typical example with 100 numbers:

Two calls x 146,444 ops/sec ±1.67% (86 runs sampled)
Minmax function x 5,693,000 ops/sec ±0.64% (90 runs sampled)
Fastest is Minmax function

And here is a typical example with 100000 numbers:

Two calls x 25.93 ops/sec ±7.60% (40 runs sampled)
Minmax function x 9,315 ops/sec ±0.44% (89 runs sampled)
Fastest is Minmax function
