Arrays are not identical after sorting even with identical values

Question

var a = [1,2,3]
var b = a.sort();

console.log(\'a\',a,\'b\',b); // a [1,2,3] b [1,2,3]
console.log(a === b); // true

a = [1,3,2];
console.log(a.sort() === b) // false
         


        

Answer 1

When comparing two arrays the return value is true if they are referring to the same object. The values or the content of the arrays are not compared.
