I'm unable to compare two array items in Javscript
I'm having a hard time figuring how to accurately compare two items in an array. Here is the javascript:
const listCards = document.querySelectorAll('.fa');
cardArray = Array.from(listCards);
let shuffleCards = shuffle(cardArray.slice(3,cardArray.length-1));
document.querySelectorAll('.fa').forEach(function(cv){cv.remove(), this});
/*
* Display the cards on the page
* - shuffle the list of cards using the provided "shuffle" method below
* - loop through each card and create its HTML
* - add each card's HTML to the page
*/
const listAddCard = document.querySelectorAll('.card');
for(i=0; i<listAddCard.length; i++){
listAddCard.item(i).appendChild(shuffleCards[i]);
if(i>0){
if(shuffleCards[i].innerHTML === (shuffleCards[0].innerHTML)){
console.log('i is' + shuffleCards[i].innerHTML + 'and 0 is' + shuffleCards[0].innerHTML)
listAddCard.item(i).classList.add('match');
}
}
else listAddCard.item(i).classList.add('match');
}
// Shuffle function from http://stackoverflow.com/a/2450976
function shuffle(array) {
var currentIndex = array.length, temporaryValue, randomIndex;
while (currentIndex !== 0) {
randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentIndex);
currentIndex -= 1;
temporaryValue = array[currentIndex];
array[currentIndex] = array[randomIndex];
array[randomIndex] = temporaryValue;
}
return array;
}
Here is the HTML that the javascript is sourcing:
<ul class="deck">
<li class="card">
<i class="fa fa-diamond"></i>
</li>
<li class="card">
<i class="fa fa-paper-plane-o"></i>
</li>
<li class="card">
<i class="fa fa-anchor"></i>
</li>
<li class="card">
<i class="fa fa-bolt"></i>
</li>
<li class="card">
<i class="fa fa-cube"></i>
</li>
<li class="card">
<i class="fa fa-anchor"></i>
</li>
<li class="card">
<i class="fa fa-leaf"></i>
</li>
<li class="card">
<i class="fa fa-bicycle"></i>
</li>

</li>
<li class="card">
<i class="fa fa-paper-plane-o"></i>
</li>
<li class="card">
<i class="fa fa-cube"></i>
</li>
</ul>
Whenever I run this check in my code if(shuffleCards[i].innerHTML === (shuffleCards[0].innerHTML)), it always runs true. I'm not sure how to compare it accurately.
I basically converted a node list into an array and then I'm trying to compare the value of each item in that list.

compare with the class attribute
if (shuffleCards[i].classList.value === (shuffleCards[0].classList.value)) {

Compare using element.className or element.classList.contains("fa-diamond") or elements[i].classList.contains(elements[0].className).
if(shuffleCards[i].className == shuffleCards[0].className){
console.log('i is' + shuffleCards[i].innerHTML + 'and 0 is' + shuffleCards[0].innerHTML)
listAddCard.item(i).classList.add('match');
}
or
if(shuffleCards[i].classList.contains(shuffleCards[0].className)){
console.log('i is' + shuffleCards[i].innerHTML + 'and 0 is' + shuffleCards[0].innerHTML)
listAddCard.item(i).classList.add('match');
}
or
