javascript map comparison code example

Example: javascript compare maps

"use strict";

function compareMaps(map1, map2) {
    var testVal;
    if (map1.size !== map2.size) {
        return false;
    }
    for (var [key, val] of map1) {
        testVal = map2.get(key);
        // in cases of an undefined value, make sure the key
        // actually exists on the object so there are no false positives
        if (testVal !== val || (testVal === undefined && !map2.has(key))) {
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
}

// construct two maps that are initially identical
var o = {"k" : 2}

var m1 = new Map();
m1.set("obj", o);
m1.set("str0", undefined);
m1.set("str1", 1);
m1.set("str2", 2);
m1.set("str3", 3);

var m2 = new Map();
m2.set("str0", undefined);
m2.set("obj", o);
m2.set("str1", 1);
m2.set("str2", 2);
m2.set("str3", 3);

log(compareMaps(m1, m2));

// add an undefined key to m1 and a corresponding other key to m2
// this will pass the .size test and even pass the equality test, but not pass the
// special test for undefined values
m1.set("str-undefined", undefined);
m2.set("str4", 4);
log(compareMaps(m1, m2));

// remove one key from m1 so m2 has an extra key
m1.delete("str-undefined");
log(compareMaps(m1, m2));

// add that same extra key to m1, but give it a different value
m1.set("str4", 5);
log(compareMaps(m1, m2));

function log(args) {
    var str = "";
    for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
        if (typeof arguments[i] === "object") {
            str += JSON.stringify(arguments[i]);
        } else {
            str += arguments[i];
        }
    }
    var div = document.createElement("div");
