I want to create a function that can check if 2 arrays are subsets or not, and if yes return true else return false

For example if : x = ["BOB","ADA","KEN"] y = ["KEN", "BOB"] return true

x = ["BOB","ADA","KEN"] y = ["KEN", "BOB" , "DAN"] return false

Any suggestions on how to create this function?

You can filter the second array by the first to see if there's anything left afterwards. If so, they don't overlap.

const hasOverlap = (arr1, arr2) => arr2.filter(a => !arr1.includes(a)).length === 0

let x = ["BOB","ADA","KEN"], y = ["KEN", "BOB" ] 
console.log(hasOverlap(x,y))

x = ["BOB","ADA","KEN"]
y = ["KEN", "BOB", "JOE"] 
console.log(hasOverlap(x,y))

  • Thanks! How about if I want to write a function that takes two arrays as input to do this ? – applefanboy Jul 12 '21 at 19:18
  • Not sure what you mean, this is taking 2 arrays as input. Can you update your question with what you mean + expected result? – Kinglish Jul 12 '21 at 19:29
