Example 1: In this example, we can see that by using d3.maxIndex() method, we are able to find the index of a maximum value in an array of numbers, strings and date formatted by this method.
Filename: index.js
// Defining d3 contrib variable  var d3 = require('d3');   var arr = [] for(var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {     arr.push(i); }   var index = d3.maxIndex(arr)   console.log(index) |
Output:
4
Example 2: Filename: index.js
// Defining d3 contrib variable  var d3 = require('d3');   var index = d3.maxIndex([new Date(), new Date("2020-09-01"), new Date("2020")])   console.log(index) |
Output:
