How would you print out the highest grade and youngest age in this object array without using the sort function in javascript. Preferable a search algorithm . Please help. Thank you. var person = [ {person: "Henry", age: "20", grade:"A"} {person: "Katie", age:"21", grade:"B"} ];

Hopefully you can get it from these hints.
I don't like to give spoilers in general, but I'd also be afraid I'm doing your homework.
