I think you should be using the Collator class. It allows you to set a strength and locale and it will compare characters appropriately. From the Java 1.6 API: You can set a Collator’s strength property to determine the level of difference considered significant in comparisons. Four strengths are provided: PRIMARY, SECONDARY, TERTIARY, and IDENTICAL. … Read more
There is the new smart match operator: #!/usr/bin/perl use 5.010; use strict; use warnings; my @x = (1, 2, 3); my @y = qw(1 2 3); say “[@x] and [@y] match” if @x ~~ @y; Regarding Array::Compare: Internally the comparator compares the two arrays by using join to turn both arrays into strings and comparing … Read more
If you convert all your dates to datetime.date, you can write the following: if start <= date <= end: print(“in between”) else: print(“No!”)
Simply parsing the JSON and comparing the two objects is not enough because it wouldn’t be the exact same object references (but might be the same values). You need to do a deep equals. From http://threebit.net/mail-archive/rails-spinoffs/msg06156.html – which seems the use jQuery. Object.extend(Object, { deepEquals: function(o1, o2) { var k1 = Object.keys(o1).sort(); var k2 = … Read more
The findDuplicates function (below) compares index of all items in array with index of first occurrence of same item. If indexes are not same returns it as duplicate. let strArray = [ “q”, “w”, “w”, “w”, “e”, “i”, “u”, “r”]; let findDuplicates = arr => arr.filter((item, index) => arr.indexOf(item) != index) console.log(findDuplicates(strArray)) // All duplicates … Read more
Use array_diff(): $arr1 = array(1,2,3); $arr2 = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7); $arr3 = array_diff($arr1, $arr2); if (count($arr3) == 0) { // all of $arr1 is in $arr2 }
From the scenario that is described in the above question, it looks like that difference has to be found between columns and not rows. So, to do that we need to apply selective difference here, which will provide us the columns that have different values, along with the values. Now, to apply selective difference we … Read more
What you are looking for is called Delta-E. http://www.colorwiki.com/wiki/Delta_E:_The_Color_Difference It is the distance between two colors in LAB color space. It is said that the human eye cannot distinguish colors below 1 DeltaE (I find that my eyes can find differences in colors below 1 DeltaE, each person is different.) There are 4 formulas for … Read more
var startDt=document.getElementById(“startDateId”).value; var endDt=document.getElementById(“endDateId”).value; if( (new Date(startDt).getTime() > new Date(endDt).getTime())) { ———————————- }
