JS - Get max or min value in an array

JS - Get max or min value in an array

//The follwoing will work
var nums = [1, 2, 3]
Math.min.apply(Math, nums)    // 1
Math.max.apply(Math, nums)    // 3
Math.min.apply(null, nums)    // 1
Math.max.apply(null, nums)    // 3

//This doesn't work
var nums = [1, 2, 3]
Math.min(nums)    // NaN
Math.max(nums)    // Nan

//That is because Math.min or Math.max functions expect distinct variables and not an array. 
//So in order to do that before ES6/ES2015 apply method was used
