Functions.collections.compareArray

Call as

Functions.collections.compareArray(lhs, rhs)

Record it as a dependency named Functions.collections.compareArray (accepting the completion does this), then call it by that name.

What it does

Visit entries in both tables and compare each value with the indexed value in the other table using Lua equality. Normal indexing and equality metamethods apply; nested contents are not compared recursively.

Arguments

Name	Type	What it does
`lhs`	`table`	First table to compare.
`rhs`	`table`	Second table to compare.

Returns

1	`boolean`	True when every visited entry compares equal in both directions.

Editions

Built In helpers are registered on every edition. What differs is the game API they read; where one is missing the helper falls back or returns nil with a reason.

It reads no game API directly.

Example

local wanted = { "Moonfire", "Sunfire" }
local applied = { "Moonfire", "Sunfire" }
return Functions.collections.compareArray(wanted, applied)
