Imagine having two objects, each containing two array fields:
const list1 = {
name: 'list-1',
fruits: ['banana', 'strawberry', 'cherry'],
vegs: ['lettuce', 'avocado', 'beans']
};
const list2 = {
name: 'list-2',
fruits: ['banana', 'apple', 'orange', 'watermelon'],
vegs: ['potato', 'avocado', 'onion', 'cabbage']
};
Now, if you were to provide two arrays, one for fruits and one for vegetables, such as:
const fruits = ['banana', 'strawberry'];
const vegetables = ['potato', 'lettuce', 'avocado'];
How would you go about arranging the objects so that the one with the most number of matching fruits and vegetables (based on the provided arrays) is placed on top?
In this scenario, list1
would take precedence as it contains both "banana" and "strawberry" in fruits, as well as "lettuce" and "avocado" in vegs (totaling 4 matches), while list2
only has 2 matches overall.
If this explanation seems convoluted, what would be the most effective method for prioritizing the objects based on the arrays?
