haveSameContent

The haveSameContent function is a utility function commonly used by programmers to compare the content or values of two variables, objects, or data structures. It determines whether the two inputs have the same content, meaning they contain the same values regardless of the order or structure.

Syntax

The function signature is as follows:

haveSameContent(input1, input2)

Here, input1 and input2 represent the variables, objects, or data structures that need to be compared.

Returns

The haveSameContent function returns a boolean value indicating whether the two inputs have the same content. It returns true if the content is the same and false otherwise.

Examples

Example 1:

const arr1 = [1, 2, 3];
const arr2 = [3, 2, 1];
console.log(haveSameContent(arr1, arr2));

Output:

true

Example 2:

const obj1 = { name: 'John', age: 30 };
const obj2 = { age: 30, name: 'John' };
console.log(haveSameContent(obj1, obj2));

Output:

true

Example 3:

const str1 = 'Hello';
const str2 = 'World';
console.log(haveSameContent(str1, str2));

Output:

false

Example 4:

const set1 = new Set([1, 2, 3]);
const set2 = new Set([3, 2, 1]);
console.log(haveSameContent(set1, set2));

Output:

true

Implementation

The implementation of the haveSameContent function depends on the type of inputs being compared. For arrays and sets, the implementation may involve sorting the elements and then comparing each element for equality. For objects, the function may need to handle key-value pairs and recursively check nested objects. For primitive types like strings or numbers, a simple equality check may be sufficient.

Here is a possible implementation for comparing arrays:

function haveSameContent(arr1, arr2) {
    if (arr1.length !== arr2.length) {
        return false;
    }

    const sortedArr1 = arr1.sort();
    const sortedArr2 = arr2.sort();

    return sortedArr1.every((value, index) => value === sortedArr2[index]);
}

Note that different programming languages may have built-in functions or libraries to achieve similar functionality. The provided implementation is just one possible approach.

It's important to thoroughly test the haveSameContent function with diverse inputs to ensure its correctness and efficiency.
