Math.Min - Math.Max 2138.5 Ops/sec
Array.Sort 511.3 Ops/sec
Script Preparation code:
​x
 
// Create an array of 100,000 numbers (0 - 99,999)
var arr = Array.from(Array(100000).keys());
​
// Knuth Shuffle Function
function shuffle(array) {
  var currentIndex = array.length, temporaryValue, randomIndex;
​
  while (0 !== currentIndex) {
​
    randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentIndex);
    currentIndex -= 1;
​
    temporaryValue = array[currentIndex];
    array[currentIndex] = array[randomIndex];
    array[randomIndex] = temporaryValue;
  }
​
  return array;
}
​
// Randomize Order
shuffle(arr);
Tests:

  • Math.Min - Math.Max

     
    var max = Math.max(...arr);
    var min = Math.max(...arr);

  • Array.Sort

     
    arr = arr.sort(function(a, b) {
      return a - b;
    });
    var max = arr[arr.length];
    var min = arr[0];
