I'd be happy to offer my help, but I am uncertain what you are trying to ask. Are you referring to an array of numbers? Where do those numbers come from?

Okay, great to know. Would you like me to rewrite your code to solve the issue you're having?

Can you paste the code that you are using into this thread? That way I can take a closer look at what is going on.

You need to change the function name for the onclick attribute on your button. Instead of saying "alert", it should read "biggestNumber()".
And try this JavaScript code out:
And try this JavaScript code out:
JavaScript:
function biggestNumber() {
const items = [...document.querySelectorAll(".number")];
const itemValues = [];
for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i += 1) {
itemValues.push(items[i].value);
}
console.log(Math.max(...itemValues));
}When I press the button, nothing happens. I use Visual Studio Code.
