我想比较两个数组。。。理想地、有效地。没有什么稀奇古怪的,如果它们是相同的,那就是真的,如果不是,那就是假的。毫不奇怪,比较运算符似乎不起作用。

var a1 = [1,2,3];
var a2 = [1,2,3];
console.log(a1==a2);    // Returns false
console.log(JSON.stringify(a1)==JSON.stringify(a2));    // Returns true

JSON对每个数组进行编码,但是否有一种更快或“更好”的方法来简单地比较数组而不必遍历每个值?

我们可以用功能性的方式(https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/every)

function compareArrays(array1, array2) {
    if (array1.length === array2.length)
        return array1.every((a, index) => a === array2[index])
    else
        return false
}

// test
var a1 = [1,2,3];
var a2 = [1,2,3];

var a3 = ['a', 'r', 'r', 'a', 'y', '1']
var a4 = ['a', 'r', 'r', 'a', 'y', '2']

console.log(compareArrays(a1,a2)) // true
console.log(compareArrays(a1,a3)) // false
console.log(compareArrays(a3,a4)) // false

其他回答

虽然这个问题的最佳答案是正确和良好的,但提供的代码可能需要一些改进。

下面是我自己比较数组和对象的代码。代码简短而简单:

Array.prototype.equals = function(otherArray) {
  if (!otherArray || this.length != otherArray.length) return false;
  return this.reduce(function(equal, item, index) {
    var otherItem = otherArray[index];
    var itemType = typeof item, otherItemType = typeof otherItem;
    if (itemType !== otherItemType) return false;
    return equal && (itemType === "object" ? item.equals(otherItem) : item === otherItem);
  }, true);
};

if(!Object.prototype.keys) {
  Object.prototype.keys = function() {
    var a = [];
    for (var key in this) {
      if (this.hasOwnProperty(key)) a.push(key);
    }
    return a;
  }
  Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype, "keys", {enumerable: false});
}

Object.prototype.equals = function(otherObject) {
  if (!otherObject) return false;
  var object = this, objectKeys = object.keys();
  if (!objectKeys.equals(otherObject.keys())) return false;
  return objectKeys.reduce(function(equal, key) {
    var value = object[key], otherValue = otherObject[key];
    var valueType = typeof value, otherValueType = typeof otherValue;
    if (valueType !== otherValueType) return false;
    // this will call Array.prototype.equals for arrays and Object.prototype.equals for objects
    return equal && (valueType === "object" ? value.equals(otherValue) : value === otherValue);
  }, true);
}
Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype, "equals", {enumerable: false});

此代码支持嵌套在对象中的数组和嵌套在数组中的对象。

您可以在下面的repl中看到一整套测试并自己测试代码:https://repl.it/Esfz/3

递归在NESTED数组上工作(&W):

function ArrEQ(a1,a2){
   return( 
        //:Are both elements arrays?
        Array.isArray(a1)&&Array.isArray(a2) 
        ?
        //:Yes: Test each entry for equality:
        a1.every((v,i)=>(ArrEQ(v,a2[i])))
        :
        //:No: Simple Comparison:
        (a1===a2)
   );;
};;

console.log( "Works With Nested Arrays:" );
console.log( ArrEQ( 
    [1,2,3,[4,5,[6,"SAME/IDENTICAL"]]],
    [1,2,3,[4,5,[6,"SAME/IDENTICAL"]]]
));;     
console.log( ArrEQ( 
    [1,2,3,[4,5,[6,"DIFFERENT:APPLES" ]]],
    [1,2,3,[4,5,[6,"DIFFERENT:ORANGES"]]]
));;  

虽然这只适用于标量数组(请参见下面的注释),但代码很短:

array1.length === array2.length && array1.every(function(value, index) { return value === array2[index]})

与上文相同,但在ECMAScript 6/CoffeeScript/TypeScript中使用箭头函数:

array1.length === array2.length && array1.every((value, index) => value === array2[index])

(注意:这里的“scalar”表示可以使用==直接比较的值。因此:数字、字符串、引用对象、引用函数。有关比较运算符的更多信息,请参阅MDN引用)。

更新

根据我在评论中看到的内容,对数组进行排序和比较可能会得到准确的结果:

const array2Sorted = array2.slice().sort();
array1.length === array2.length && array1.slice().sort().every(function(value, index) {
    return value === array2Sorted[index];
});

Eg:

array1 = [2,3,1,4];
array2 = [1,2,3,4];

然后上述代码将返回true

与嵌套数组一起使用MULTIPLE参数:

//:Return true if all of the arrays equal.
//:Works with nested arrays.
function AllArrEQ(...arrays){
    for(var i = 0; i < (arrays.length-1); i++ ){
        var a1 = arrays[i+0];
        var a2 = arrays[i+1];
        var res =( 
            //:Are both elements arrays?
            Array.isArray(a1)&&Array.isArray(a2) 
            ?
            //:Yes: Compare Each Sub-Array:
            //:v==a1[i]
            a1.every((v,i)=>(AllArrEQ(v,a2[i])))
            :
            //:No: Simple Comparison:
            (a1===a2)
        );;
        if(!res){return false;}
    };;
    return( true );
};;

console.log( AllArrEQ( 
        [1,2,3,[4,5,[6,"ALL_EQUAL"   ]]],
        [1,2,3,[4,5,[6,"ALL_EQUAL"   ]]],
        [1,2,3,[4,5,[6,"ALL_EQUAL"   ]]],
        [1,2,3,[4,5,[6,"ALL_EQUAL"   ]]],
));; 

与JSON.encode相同的行是使用join()。

function checkArrays( arrA, arrB ){

    //check if lengths are different
    if(arrA.length !== arrB.length) return false;


    //slice so we do not effect the original
    //sort makes sure they are in order
    //join makes it a string so we can do a string compare
    var cA = arrA.slice().sort().join(","); 
    var cB = arrB.slice().sort().join(",");

    return cA===cB;

}

var a = [1,2,3,4,5];
var b = [5,4,3,2,1];
var c = [1,2,3,4];
var d = [1,2,3,4,6];
var e = ["1","2","3","4","5"];  //will return true

console.log( checkArrays(a,b) );  //true
console.log( checkArrays(a,c) );  //false
console.log( checkArrays(a,d) );  //false
console.log( checkArrays(a,e) );  //true

唯一的问题是,如果您关心上次比较测试的类型。如果你关心类型,你将不得不循环。

function checkArrays( arrA, arrB ){

    //check if lengths are different
    if(arrA.length !== arrB.length) return false;

    //slice so we do not effect the orginal
    //sort makes sure they are in order
    var cA = arrA.slice().sort(); 
    var cB = arrB.slice().sort();

    for(var i=0;i<cA.length;i++){
         if(cA[i]!==cB[i]) return false;
    }

    return true;

}

var a = [1,2,3,4,5];
var b = [5,4,3,2,1];
var c = [1,2,3,4];
var d = [1,2,3,4,6];
var e = ["1","2","3","4","5"];

console.log( checkArrays(a,b) );  //true
console.log( checkArrays(a,c) );  //false
console.log( checkArrays(a,d) );  //false
console.log( checkArrays(a,e) );  //false

如果顺序应该保持不变,而不是循环,则不需要排序。

function checkArrays( arrA, arrB ){

    //check if lengths are different
    if(arrA.length !== arrB.length) return false;


    for(var i=0;i<arrA.length;i++){
         if(arrA[i]!==arrB[i]) return false;
    }

    return true;

}

var a = [1,2,3,4,5];
var b = [5,4,3,2,1];
var c = [1,2,3,4];
var d = [1,2,3,4,6];
var e = ["1","2","3","4","5"];

console.log( checkArrays(a,a) );  //true
console.log( checkArrays(a,b) );  //false
console.log( checkArrays(a,c) );  //false
console.log( checkArrays(a,d) );  //false
console.log( checkArrays(a,e) );  //false
