Arrays can be equal if they have the same number of elements and if each element is equal to the corresponding element in the array. To compare arrays in order to find if they are equal or not, we have to use the `==` operator.

If the arrays are equal, a `bool` value is returned, which is either `true` or `false`.
# 
#  Syntax
```
array1 == array2
```
##
## Parameters
**`array1`**: This is the first array you want to compare.

**`array2`**: This is the second array you want to compare.

## Return value
The value returned is `bool` which is `true` if the arrays are equal and `false` if otherwise.

## Code example
In the example below, we created arrays and compared if they are equal using the `==` operator:



# Create arrays
arr1 = [1, 2, 3]
arr2 = ["a", "b", "c"]
arr3 = ["Python", "Ruby", "Java"]
arr4 = [true, false]
arr5 = [nil, "nil", "false"]

# compare arrays
a = arr1 == [3, 4]           # false
b = arr2 == ["a", "b", "c"]  # true
c = arr3 == ["C++", "C"]     # false
d = arr4 == [false, true]    # false
e = arr5 == ["nil", ""]      # false

# print values returned
puts "#{a}"
puts "#{b}"
puts "#{c}"
puts "#{d}"
puts "#{e}"

## Explanation

In line number 2 to 6: We have declared different types of arrays.

In line number 8 to 13: We have compared these arrays.

In line number 16 to 20: We have simply printed the comparison results of these areas using `puts`.

How to check if two arrays are equal in Ruby

Use the `==` operator in Ruby to check if two arrays are equal by comparing their elements.
