Exercise 4.4
Deep Comparison
function deepEqual(a,b){
if(a === b)
return true;
if(a == null || typeof a != "object" ||
b == null || typeof b != "object")
return false;
var propsInA = 0, propsInB = 0;
for (var prop in a)
propsInA += 1;
for(var prop in b){
propsInB += 1;
if(!(prop in a) || !deepEqual(a[prop], b{prop]))
return false;
}
return propsInA == propsInB;
}
var obj = {here: {is: "an"}, object: 2};
console.log(deepEqual(obj, obj));
// → true
console.log(deepEqual(obj, {here: 1, object: 2}));
// → false
console.log(deepEqual(obj, {here: {is: "an"}, object: 2}));
// → true
