# Get the rank of an array of numbers

Rank each number by how many values are larger, starting at 1.

Canonical: https://1loc.dev/array/get-the-rank-of-an-array-of-numbers/
Version: 1.0.0
Runtime: JavaScript · Node.js 22 / modern browsers
Verification: Local fixtures; no external services
Updated: 2026-10-28

## Implementation

```javascript
function ranking(values) { return values.map(value => values.filter(other => other > value).length + 1); }
```

## Input

```json
[
  80,
  65,
  90,
  65
]
```

## Expected output

```json
[
  2,
  3,
  1,
  3
]
```

## Edge case

Input:
```json
[]
```
Output:
```json
[]
```

## Limits

- Ties share a rank and the next rank is skipped (competition ranking).
- Quadratic: fine for the lab’s 1,000 items.

The lab validates types and size before calling this function. Add equivalent validation at your own trust boundary.
