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.

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

const temp = arra1[i];
arra1[i] = arra1[j];
arra1[j] = temp;

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());
