Let's say I have a string of numbers separated by spaces and I want to return the highest and lowest number. How could that best be done in JS using a function? Example:

highestAndLowest(1 2 3 4 5); // return 5 1

I would like the both numbers to be returned in a string. The lowest number first followed by a space then the highest number.

Here is what I have so far:

function myFunction(str) {

    var tst = str.split( );

    return tst.max();

}

You can use Math.min and Math.max, and use them in an array to return the result, try:

function highestAndLowest(numbers){

  numbers = numbers.split( );

  return Math.max.apply(null, numbers) +   +  Math.min.apply(null, numbers)

}



document.write(highestAndLowest(1 2 3 4 5))
