var arr = fieldAlias; var lowest = arr[0]; for(i=1;i<arr.length;i++){ if(arr[i] < lowest){ lowest = arr[i]; } lowest;
var arr = fieldAlias; var highest = arr[0]; for(i=1;i<arr.length;i++){ if(arr[i] > highest){ highest = arr[i]; } highest;
var arr = fieldAlias;
if(arr.indexOf(“value”)>-1){
“Value exists”; }
