Below programs illustrate the d3.extent() function in D3.js.

Example 1:




<html>
  
<head>
    <title>
      Getting minimum and 
      maximum value in an array
  </title>
</head>
  
<body>
    <script src='https://d3js.org/d3.v4.min.js'>
  </script>
  
    <script>
        // initialising the array of elements
        var Array1 = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60];
        var Array2 = [1, 2];
        var Array3 = [0, 1.5, 6.8];
        var Array4 = [.8, .08, .008];
  
        // Calling to d3.extent() function
        A = d3.extent(Array1);
        B = d3.extent(Array2);
        C = d3.extent(Array3);
        D = d3.extent(Array4);
  
        // Getting minimum and maximum value
        document.write(A + "<br>");
        document.write(B + "<br>");
        document.write(C + "<br>");
        document.write(D + "<br>");
    </script>
</body>
  
</html>


Output:

10, 60
1, 2
0, 6.8
0.008, 0.8

Example 2:




<html>
  
<head>
    <title>
      Getting minimum 
      and maximum value
  </title>
</head>
  
<body>
    <script src='https://d3js.org/d3.v4.min.js'>
  </script>
  
    <script>
        // initialising the array of elements
        var Array1 = [];
        var Array2 = ["a", "b", "c"];
        var Array3 = ["A", "B", "C"];
        var Array4 = ["Geek", "Geeks", "GeeksforGeeks"];
  
        // Calling to d3.extent() function
        A = d3.extent(Array1);
        B = d3.extent(Array2);
        C = d3.extent(Array3);
        D = d3.extent(Array4);
  
        // Getting minimum and maximum value
        document.write(A + "<br>");
        document.write(B + "<br>");
        document.write(C + "<br>");
        document.write(D + "<br>");
    </script>
</body>
