Imagine having an array of random numbers with a length of n. I am looking to develop a function that can iterate through the array and identify two (or more) indices that meet a specific criteria simultaneously.
For example:
const arr = [12, 10, 2, 3, 17, 42, 56, 38]
Create a function that finds the two indexes where multiplying their elements results in the largest possible product. (In this case, 56 * 42 would be the correct answer)
I acknowledge that for this instance, simply multiplying the two largest elements will yield the desired outcome. However, in more complex scenarios there may be multiple conditions to consider and the array elements could have varying unknown values. My focus is on understanding the underlying principle behind the solution. If you can provide a resolution to this problem while outlining your thought process, it would be greatly appreciated.
