Compare 2 Arrays

**locbtran** · 12-16-2011, 01:05 AM

I have 2 arrays and I would like to compare the 2 arrays.
If an element in array 1 is NOT in array 2 then I would like to display that element.

In this case, I should only display the letter "c" but it doesn't work and I don't know why??
Here's my code:

HTML Code:

<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getValue(id){
   var x=new Array("a","b","c","d","e");
   var y=new Array("a","b","3","d","e");
   var str="";

   for (var i=0; i<x.length; i++){
      for (var j=0; j<y.length; j++){
         if (x[i] == y[j]){
       	    break;
	 }else{
            //Check if reach the last element in the array 2
            //If yes, then display that element in array 1 b/c not in array 2
            if (y[j] == y.length-1){
	       str += x[i];
            }
         }
      }
   }
   document.getElementById(id).innerHTML = str;

}


function init(){
   getValue("info");
}
</script>
</head>

<body onload="init()">
<h2 id="info"></h2>
</body>
</html>

Code:

if (y[j] == y.length-1){

should be:

Code:

if (j == y.length-1){
