Write a function that returns the smallest number that’s greater or equal to 0. Especially that return right underneath if (num < 0). What's that return's job here?

function minNonNegative(numArray) {
  let min = Infinity;

  numArray.forEach(function(num) {
    if (num < 0) {
      return;
    } else if (num < min) {
      min = num
    }
  });
  return min;
}

console.log(minNonNegative([-3,2,5,-9]))

CodePudding user response：

The return INSIDE the forEach is to ignore the else which is then not even needed:

numArray.forEach(num => { if (num < 0) return; if (num < min) { min = num } });

You can use a filter and Math.min:

const minNonNegative = numArray => Math.min(...numArray.filter(num => num>=0))


console.log(minNonNegative([-3,2,5,-9]))
