Finding the Maximum Date

To find the maximum date value from a given array of dates, follow these steps:

1. Open the Terminal or SSH.
2. Type node to start practicing coding.
3. Use the ES6 spread syntax with Math.max() to find the maximum date value.
4. Convert the maximum date value to a Date object using the Date constructor.

Here's an example code snippet:

const maxDate = (...dates) => new Date(Math.max(...dates));

const dates = [
  new Date(2017, 4, 13),
  new Date(2018, 2, 12),
  new Date(2016, 0, 10),
  new Date(2016, 0, 9)
];

maxDate(...dates); // Returns "2018-03-11T22:00:00.000Z"

By following these steps and using the provided code, you can easily find the maximum date value from a given array of dates.
