--description--

Return an array consisting of the largest number from each provided sub-array. For simplicity, the provided array will contain exactly 4 sub-arrays.

Remember, you can iterate through an array with a simple for loop, and access each member with array syntax arr[i].

--hints--

largestOfFour([[4, 5, 1, 3], [13, 27, 18, 26], [32, 35, 37, 39], [1000, 1001, 857, 1]]) should return an array.

js
assert.isArray(
  largestOfFour([
    [4, 5, 1, 3],
    [13, 27, 18, 26],
    [32, 35, 37, 39],
    [1000, 1001, 857, 1]
  ])
);

largestOfFour([[13, 27, 18, 26], [4, 5, 1, 3], [32, 35, 37, 39], [1000, 1001, 857, 1]]) should return [27, 5, 39, 1001].

js
assert.deepEqual(
  largestOfFour([
    [13, 27, 18, 26],
    [4, 5, 1, 3],
    [32, 35, 37, 39],
    [1000, 1001, 857, 1]
  ]),
  [27, 5, 39, 1001]
);

largestOfFour([[4, 9, 1, 3], [13, 35, 18, 26], [32, 35, 97, 39], [1000000, 1001, 857, 1]]) should return [9, 35, 97, 1000000].

js
assert.deepEqual(
  largestOfFour([
    [4, 9, 1, 3],
    [13, 35, 18, 26],
    [32, 35, 97, 39],
    [1000000, 1001, 857, 1]
  ]),
  [9, 35, 97, 1000000]
);

largestOfFour([[17, 23, 25, 12], [25, 7, 34, 48], [4, -10, 18, 21], [-72, -3, -17, -10]]) should return [25, 48, 21, -3].

js
assert.deepEqual(
  largestOfFour([
    [17, 23, 25, 12],
    [25, 7, 34, 48],
    [4, -10, 18, 21],
    [-72, -3, -17, -10]
  ]),
  [25, 48, 21, -3]
);
