javascript surprising array comparison

Question

I\'m trying to compare two arrays in javascript.

What I\'d like is:

a < b ⇔ ∃ i ≥ 0 s.t. a[i] < b[i] and ∀ 0 ≤ j

Answer 1

I couldn't find an answer about how to actually compare arrays in Javascript and get "expected" results, so here is the code

compareArrays = function(a, b) {
  var elA, elB, i, len; 
  for (i = 0, len = Math.min(a.length, b.length); i < len; i++) {               
    elA = a[i], elB = b[i];
    if (elA > elB) return 1;
    if (elA < elB) return -1;
  }
  return b.length - a.length;
};

console.log(compareArrays([-2], [-1])) # -1
console.log(compareArrays([], [])) # 0
console.log(compareArrays([null], [undefined])) # 0
console.log(compareArrays([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3, 4])) # 1
console.log(compareArrays([0, 2], [0, 1])) # 1
console.log(compareArrays([1], [NaN])) # 0
console.log(compareArrays([NaN], [1])) # 0
