I have two arrays as below:
var arr1 = [1,2,3,8,7,5,7,2,9,0];
var arr2 = [8,7,5];
I want to compare arr2 with arr1, when it will find arr2 exactly in the same sequence as it is then it should return true. i.e. if [8,7,5] is found exactly same sequence in arr1 then it will return true.
Note:
We have to do this without using indexOf.
You could use a combination of Array#some and Array#every.
var array1 = [1, 2, 3, 8, 7, 5, 7, 2, 9, 0],
array2 = [8, 7, 5],
result = array1.some(function (a, i, aa) {
return array2.every(function (b, j) {
return aa[i + j] === b;
});
});
console.log(result);You can loop through the largest array. On each iteration, compare the next values to all of the values found in the smaller array. If they all match, then it contains the smaller array.
var arr1 = [1,2,3,8,7,5,7,2,9,0];
var arr2 = [8,7,5];
console.log(doesArrayContain(arr2, arr1));
function doesArrayContain(smallestArray, biggestArray) {
for (var i = 0; i < biggestArray.length; i++) {
var doesMatch = true;
for (var j = 0; j < smallestArray.length; j++) {
if (biggestArray[i + j] !== smallestArray[j]) {
doesMatch = false; break;
}
}
if (doesMatch) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
true.
