JavaScript: Check whether two arrays of integers of same length are similar or not

JavaScript Basic: Exercise-87 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program to check whether two arrays of integers of same length are similar or not. The arrays will be similar if one array can be obtained from another array by swapping at most one pair of elements.

Pictorial Presentation:

JavaScript: Check whether two arrays of integers of same length are similar or not.

Sample Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">

</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

JavaScript Code:

function array_checking(arra1, arra2) {

  for(var i = 0; i < arra1.length; i++) {
    for(var j = i; j < arra1.length; j++) {
      var result = true,
        temp = arra1[i];
      arra1[i] = arra1[j];
      arra1[j] = temp;
      for(var k = 0; k < arra1.length; k++) {
        if(arra1[k] !== arra2[k]) {
          result = false;
          break;
        }
      }
      if(result) {
        return true;
      }
      arra1[j] = arra1[i];
      arra1[i] = temp;
    }
  }
  return false;
}

console.log(array_checking([10,20,30], [10,20,30]))
console.log(array_checking([10,20,30], [30,10,20]))
console.log(array_checking([10,20,30,40], [10,30,20,40]))

Sample Output:

true
false
true

      }
      arra1[j] = arra1[i];
      arra1[i] = temp;
    }
  }
  return false;
}

console.log(array_checking([10,20,30], [10,20,30]))
console.log(array_checking([10,20,30], [30,10,20]))
console.log(array_checking([10,20,30,40], [10,30,20,40]))

JavaScript: Tips of the Day

How to insert an item into an array at a specific index (JavaScript)?

What you want is the splice function on the native array object.

arr.splice(index, 0, item); will insert item into arr at the specified index (deleting 0 items first, that is, it's just an insert). In this example we will create an array and add an element to it into index 2:

var arr = [];
arr[0] = "Jani";
arr[1] = "Hege";
arr[2] = "Stale";
arr[3] = "Kai Jim";
arr[4] = "Borge";

console.log(arr.join());
arr.splice(2, 0, "Lene");
console.log(arr.join());
