How to correctly compare two arrays in JavaScript? Detailed guide
Hello everyone! I'm a beginner in JavaScript and I've encountered a problem that seems very simple, but I can't find the right solution. I need to compare two arrays for equality. For example, I have two arrays:
```javascript
const arr1 = [1, 2, 3];
const arr2 = [1, 2, 3];
```
I tried using the `==` and `===` operators, but they always return `false`:
```javascript
console.log(arr1 == arr2); // false
console.log(arr1 === arr2); // false
```
Why does this happen? I expected them to be equal, because the elements are the same and arranged in the same order. I also tried comparing arrays using `JSON.stringify()`:
```javascript
console.log(JSON.stringify(arr1) === JSON.stringify(arr2)); // true
```
This works, but I've heard that this is an unreliable method
