Script Preparation code:

// Create an array of 100,000 numbers (0 - 99,999)
var arr = Array.from(Array(100000).keys());

// Knuth Shuffle Function
function shuffle(array) {
  var currentIndex = array.length, temporaryValue, randomIndex;

  while (0 !== currentIndex) {

    randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentIndex);
    currentIndex -= 1;

    temporaryValue = array[currentIndex];
    array[currentIndex] = array[randomIndex];
    array[randomIndex] = temporaryValue;
  }

  return array;
}

// Randomize Order
shuffle(arr);

Tests:

Math.Min - Math.Max
var max = Math.max(...arr); var min = Math.max(...arr);
Array.Sort
arr = arr.sort(function(a, b) { return a - b; }); var max = arr[arr.length]; var min = arr[0];
