Comparing Arrays


# The == method compares two arrays to test if they are equal. 
# Two arrays are considered equal if 
# (1) they contain the same number of elements, and 
# (2) each element is equal to the corresponding element in the other array (compare with Object#==).

# Compare these arrays with ==

myArray1 = [ "full", 40, "yes" ]
myArray2 = ["part", 23, "no"]
myArray3 = [ "full", 40, "yes" ]

myArray2 == myArray2 # => true
myArray1 == myArray3 # => true
myArray3 == myArray2 # => false
