Description (last modified by mLipok)

I notice that "if $array = $array" return False
so using the following script

Local $array1 = [1,2,3,4]
Local $array2 = [4,5,6]
Local $array2_same = [4,5,6]
Local $array2_copy = $array2

ConsoleWrite("comparison not sensitive (=)" & @CRLF)
If $array1 = $array1 Then ConsoleWrite ('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ") $array1 = $array1" & @CRLF)
If NOT($array1 = $array2) Then ConsoleWrite ('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ") $array1 != $array2 ==== current release 3.3.16.0 ====" & @CRLF)
If NOT($array2 = $array2_same) Then ConsoleWrite ('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ") $array2 != $array2_same ==== current release 3.3.16.0 ====" & @CRLF)
If $array2 = $array2_copy Then ConsoleWrite ('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ") $array2 = $array2_copy" & @CRLF)

; comparison sensitive so all different
ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "comparison sensitive (==) so all different" & @CRLF)
If NOT($array1 == $array1) Then ConsoleWrite ('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ") $array1 <> $array1" & @CRLF)
If NOT($array1 == $array2) Then ConsoleWrite ('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ") $array1 <> $array2" & @CRLF)
If NOT($array2 == $array2_same) Then ConsoleWrite ('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ") $array2 <> $array2_same" & @CRLF)
If NOT($array2 == $array2_copy) Then ConsoleWrite ('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ") $array2 <> $array2_copy" & @CRLF)

ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "modification of $array2_copy[2], so it will be different" & @CRLF)
$array2_copy[2] = 7 ; modification so it will be different
If Not ($array2 = $array2_copy) Then ConsoleWrite ('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ") $array2 != $array2_copy ==== current release 3.3.16.0 ====" & @CRLF)

I get under current release 3.3.16.0

comparison not sensitive (=)
@@ Debug(11) $array1 != $array2 ==== current release 3.3.16.0 ====
@@ Debug(12) $array2 != $array2_same ==== current release 3.3.16.0 ====

comparison sensitive (==) so all different

modification of $array2_copy[2], so it will be different
@@ Debug(24) $array2 != $array2_copy ==== current release 3.3.16.0 ====

so I propose to be more consistant when comparing array's

comparison not sensitive (=)
@@ Debug(10) $array1 = $array1
@@ Debug(11) $array1 != $array2 ==== current release 3.3.16.0 ====
@@ Debug(12) $array2 != $array2_same ==== current release 3.3.16.0 ====
@@ Debug(13) $array2 = $array2_copy

comparison sensitive (==) so all different
@@ Debug(17) $array1 <> $array1
@@ Debug(18) $array1 <> $array2
@@ Debug(19) $array2 <> $array2_same
@@ Debug(20) $array2 <> $array2_copy

modification of $array2_copy[2], so it will be different
@@ Debug(24) $array2 != $array2_copy ==== current release 3.3.16.0 ====

Change History (3)
