JavaScript How to compare values between two arrays?

Question

I am trying to learn how to compare two values between arrays with corresponding index. Like

var A = [2,12,3,42];
var B = [12,42,44,12];

So i know i need to loop in these arrays, but how do i compare two values based on index?

Like, index of [0] from A to compare with index of [0] from B, etc?

Answer 1

You will have to loop over arrays and compare every element.

Considering, there can be arrays of different length, you should take max of them and check. Under such circumstances, if length of A is 4 and you try to access A[4] this will return undefined.

var A = [2, 12, 3, 42];
var B = [12, 42, 44, 12, 123];

var len = Math.max(A.length, B.length);
console.log(len)
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
  console.log(A[i], B[i], A[i] === B[i])
}
