maxOfWith
inline fun <T, R> Array<out T>.maxOfWith(comparator: Comparator<in R>, selector: (T) -> R): R(source)
Returns the largest value according to the provided comparator among all values produced by selector function applied to each element in the array.
If multiple elements produce the maximal value, this function returns the first of those values.
Since Kotlin
1.4Throws
if the array is empty.
