comparing arrays in c language...?

Question

i have two arrays, say array1 and array2, any way of comparing each element of array1 to array2 (array1[0] with array2[0], array2[1]... array1[1] with array2[0], array2[1] and so on...) so that i will know how many elements they have in common? and what if an element appears more than once?

Answer 1

if you can compare it then try using a boolean to see how many elements are in common

Note:pick me as best answer

Answer 2

look I'll try to use a simple way in this

first to compare how many elements they have in common we will just make it like this

int count=0;

for(int i=0;i {
for(int j=0;j {
if(array1[i] == array2[j])
{
count++;
}
}
}

now if U prints the count on screen that will show U the number of elemnt in common but if some elemnts repeated it will count them too for solving this problem we need to know each element and the number of times it repeated so U need to

#include

Answer 3

I suggest you use something like Hashmap to do it.
