Daily JavaScript Challenge #JS-67: Find the Maximum Depth of a Nested Array

Daily JavaScript Challenge: Find the Maximum Depth of a Nested Array

Hey fellow developers! 👋 Welcome to today's JavaScript coding challenge. Let's keep those programming skills sharp!

The Challenge

Difficulty: Medium

Topic: Arrays

Description

Given a nested array, your task is to find and return the maximum depth of nesting. An empty array has a depth of 1. Each additional level of nested arrays within increases the depth by 1.

The challenge is to find the maximum depth of a nested array in JavaScript. You can solve this by recursively traversing the array and checking if each element is itself an array. If it is, increase the depth by 1. The base case handles non-array elements, and the depth is adjusted accordingly. For example, for an input like [1, [2, [3, [4]]]]], the depth would be 4. This type of problem helps sharpen your skills in recursion and array manipulation.
