Hello, I'm doing some list comparison using JS. I'm sending 4 lists merged as one in then separating them in js to compare for equals conditions. The lists are always the same length. It works fine, but I am converting the arrays to strings as this seemed easier to compare than doing it with arrays. Are there any benefits to comparing using arrays rather than strings?

    var list = arrayfromargs(arguments);

        if (a == b || a == c || a == d){

function list(){
	var list = arrayfromargs(arguments);
	var in1 = list.slice(0, 2);
	var a = in1.toString();

	var in2 = list.slice(2, 4);
	var b = in2.toString();

	var in3 = list.slice(4, 6);
	var c = in3.toString();

	var in4 = list.slice(6, 8);
	var d = in4.toString();

		if (a == b || a == c || a == d){
		outlet(0, 'true');
		} else {
		outlet(0, 'false');
		}
	}


Array or String for equals comparison
