How to compare two arrays in node js?

Question

I am having two arrays, how can i compare the two arrays at single shot.

   var arr1= [\"a\",\"b\",\"c\"];
   var arr2 = [\"a\",\"c\",\"d\"]

   if(arr1 == a         


        

Answer 1

var arr1 = ["a","b","c"];
var arr2 = ["a","c","d"];

if (arr1.length == arr2.length
    && arr1.every(function(u, i) {
        return u === arr2[i];
    })
) {
   console.log(true);
} else {
   console.log(false);
}

Side note for edge cases:

=== is often considered slightly broken for this kind of task because NaN behaves unexpectedly:

var arr1 = ["a",NaN,"b"];
var arr2 = ["a",NaN,"b"];

if (arr1.length == arr2.length
    && arr1.every(function(u, i) {
        return u === arr2[i];
    })
) {
   console.log(true);
} else {
   console.log(false);
}

The code above actually logs false because NaN !== NaN. In addition, === can't distinguish +0 from -0. To cover both of these cases, you could use a stronger comparison known as "egal" or "is", which can easily be implemented like so:

function is(a, b) {
    return a === b && (a !== 0 || 1 / a === 1 / b) // false for +0 vs -0
        || a !== a && b !== b; // true for NaN vs NaN
}

var arr1 = ["a",NaN,"b"];
var arr2 = ["a",NaN,"b"];

if (arr1.length == arr2.length
    && arr1.every(function(u, i) {
        // Use "is" instead of "==="
        return is(u, arr2[i]);
    })
) {
   console.log(true);
} else {
   console.log(false);
}
