Getting biggest height of group of divs

I need to find the height of the biggest div in a group of divs with the class name termPanel. How do I access each 'termPanel' div in the terms array?

 function resizePanelsToBiggest(){

        var maxheight = 0;

        var terms = $('.termPanel');

        for(var i = 0;i<terms.length;++i){

            if(maxheight < terms[i].height){
                maxheight = terms[i].height;
            }


        }

    }

This way it seems a bit easier and more understandable to me:

function returnHighest() {
    var maxH = 0;
    $('.termPanel').each(function(index, elmt){
        var elmtH = $(elmt).outerHeight();
        if (elmtH > maxH) {
            maxH = elmtH;
        }
    });
    return maxH;
}

var h = returnHighest();

$('.termPanel').css('height', h);
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="termPanel" style="float:left;width:50px;border:2px solid red"></div>
<div class="termPanel" style="float:left;width:50px;border:2px solid green"></div>
<div class="termPanel" style="float:left;width:50px;border:2px solid blue"></div>
<div class="termPanel" style="float:left;width:300px;border:2px solid red">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.

Check this demo:

 resizePanelsToBiggest();
 
 function resizePanelsToBiggest() {
     var maxheight = 0;
     var terms = $('.termPanel');
     terms.each(function(ndx){
     	if ($(this).height() > maxheight) {
        	maxheight = $(this).height();
        }
     });
     console.log(maxheight);
 }
.termPanel {
    width: 90px;
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: top;
    color: white;
}

.termPanel:nth-of-type(even) {
    background: black;
}

.termPanel:nth-of-type(odd) {
    background: red;
}

.termPanel:nth-of-type(1) {
    height: 100px;
}

.termPanel:nth-of-type(2) {
    height: 250px;
}


.termPanel:nth-of-type(4) {
    height: 400px;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="termPanel"></div>
<div class="termPanel"></div>

Use Math.max.apply

function resizePanelsToBiggest() {
  var maxheight = 0;
  var terms = $('.termPanel');
  var allH = terms.map(function() {
    return $(this).height();
  }).get();
  var maxH = Math.max.apply(null, allH);
  console.log(maxH);
}
