function adjacentElementsProduct(array) {
   let maxProduct = array[0] * array[1];
   for (let i = 1; i < array.length; i++) {
      product = array[i] * array[i + 1];
      if (product > maxProduct)
         maxProduct = product;
   }
   return maxProduct;
};
console.log(adjacentElementsProduct(arr));

Output
