To compare arrays, use follow as code:
// Warn if overriding existing method
if(Array.prototype.equals)
console.warn("Overriding existing Array.prototype.equals. Possible causes: New API defines the method, there's a framework conflict or you've got double inclusions in your code.");
// attach the .equals method to Array's prototype to call it on any array
Array.prototype.equals = function (array) {
// if the other array is a falsy value, return
if (!array)
return false;
// compare lengths - can save a lot of time
if (this.length != array.length)
return false;
for (var i = 0, l=this.length; i < l; i++) {
// Check if we have nested arrays
if (this[i] instanceof Array && array[i] instanceof Array) {
// recurse into the nested arrays
if (!this[i].equals(array[i]))
return false;
}
else if (this[i] != array[i]) {
// Warning - two different object instances will never be equal: {x:20} != {x:20}
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
// Hide method from for-in loops
Object.defineProperty(Array.prototype, "equals", {enumerable: false});
Example usage:
[1, 2, [3, 4]].equals([1, 2, [3, 2]]) === false;
[1, 2,3].equals([1, 2, 3]) === true;
[1, 2, [3, 4]].equals([1, 2, [3, 4]]) === true;
forEachprovides a second argument as the index.forEach((e, i) => ...). You can use that to access the elements of the arrays. Thethiskeyword in theconsole.logis not necessary.Array#forEach()has no return 3) Your function has no return. Broken code is often not a good substitute for a proper explanation of exactly what you expect the code to do
