Discussion on: Daily Challenge #117 - MinMinMax

function minMinMax(arr) {
  // Sorting `arr` lets us easily select the min and max values
  arr.sort((a, b) => a - b)
  const min = arr[0]
  const max = arr[arr.length - 1]

  // Starting at the `min` number, search between 
  // `min` and `max` until you find a value that's not in `arr`

minMinMax([-1, 4, 5, -23, 24]); //[-23, -22, 24]
