Comparing two arrays

Question

Hi, 
 
 Is there any straightforward method to compare below two arrays in such a way that, SelectedAnswersArray[1]=correctAnswersArray[1] , SelectedAnswersArray[2]=correctAnswersArray[2] and SelectedAnswersArray[3]=correctAnswersArray[3] . 
 SelectedAnswersArray: {"a","c","b"} 
 correctAnswersArray: {"a","b","c"}

{"a","c","b"}={"a","b","c"} 
 As unreal as it looks, just an equal operator will work.

Hi, Adding to Harshit's and Stefan's comments, you can also use Appian's OOTB function 'exact', which will help you, in case you need to compare in a case-sensitive manner. a!forEach(
 items: merge({ "a", "B", "C" }, { "a", "b", "C" }),
 expression: exact(fv!item[1], fv!item[2])
)

Comparing two arrays returns a list of booleans. This might be a little better: 
 a!localVariables(
 local!array1: { 1, 2, 3 },
 local!array2: { 1, 2, 3 },
 not(contains(local!array1 = local!array2, false))
)
