# Exercise 12 - Find the Oldest
Given an array of objects representing people with a birth and death year, return the oldest person.
The objects follow this format:
```javascript
const people = [
{
name: "nameA",
yearOfBirth: 1880,
yearOfDeath: 1920,
},
{
name: "nameB",
yearOfBirth: 1950,
yearOfDeath: 2000,
},
{
name: "nameC",
yearOfBirth: 2000,
yearOfDeath: 2021,
},
]
```
## Hints
- You should return the whole person object, but the tests mostly just check to make sure the name is correct.
- this can be done with a couple of chained array methods, or by using `reduce`.
- One of the tests checks for people with no death-date.. use JavaScript's Date function to get their age as of today.
