What is .isDecimal?

@cjyuan , it's supposed to be isInteger

Currently this function may not work for some arrays. For example, when nums is ["A"].
Instead of deleting elements from num (which could be an undesired side effect), consider using .filter() to filter elements that are numbers to a separate array, and then find the largest value in the new array.
Doing so could also simplify the code.

Decimal numbers in most programming languages (including JS) are internally represented in "floating point number" format. Floating point arithmetic is not exact. For example, the result of 46.5678 - 46 === 0.5678 is false because 46.5678 - 46 only yield a value that is very close to 0.5678. Even changing the order in which the program add/subtract numbers can yield different values.
So the following could happen
expect( 1.2 + 0.6 + 0.005 ).toEqual( 1.805 ); // This fail
expect( 1.2 + 0.6 + 0.005 ).toEqual( 1.8049999999999997 ); // This pass
expect( 0.005 + 0.6 + 1.2 ).toEqual( 1.8049999999999997 ); // This fail
console.log(1.2 + 0.6 + 0.005 == 1.805); // false
console.log(1.2 + 0.6 + 0.005 == 0.005 + 0.6 + 1.2); // falseCan you find a more appropriate way to test a value (that involves decimal number calculations) for equality?
Suggestion: Look up
- Checking equality in floating point arithmetic in JavaScript
- Checking equality in floating point arithmetic with Jest

This is an odd choice of value to return.
Is there any value you don't expect findMax() to ever return?
