project: Coding aptitude assessment challenge: Task 6

Tags skill/problem_solving
Hard Prerequisites
IMPORTANT: Please review these prerequisites, they include important information that will help you with this content.
  • CODING_APTITUDE_ASSESSMENT: Introduction to coding challenges
  • CODING_APTITUDE_ASSESSMENT: IMPORTANT!! Naming your files and functions

    • Write a function that can take in any number of numbers(integers). It should return the maximum number from those numbers.

    Do this without using built-in methods. Write your own logic from scratch.

    Again, the function should expect a bunch of numbers as input, not an array or list.

    task6([1,2,44,3])  // BAD
task6(1,2,44,3)    // GOOD

    Example usage:

    • task5(1,2,44,3) should return 44
    • task5(-1,-2,-44,-3,-5) should return -1
    • task5(8,8,8,8,8,8,8) should return 8

    Check your understanding

    • what kinds of loops do you know of? What are they for? How do they differ?
    • will your code work if there are 50 numbers passed into your function?
    • will it work if there are negative and positive numbers passed in?
    • can it handle the number zero?
