[Jprogramming] substring matching between two arrays

Tue Nov 13 00:00:20 UTC 2018

Thanks all. The solutions above were more complicated than I expected. I
had assumed I was missing something obvious. The obvious miss was to use /
... I was thinking I could do something with rank alone
For comparison it is combination of map and reduce in javascript
['Joe B','Joe Q','Bobby Z','Janet F'].map(function(x) { return
['Joe','Bob','Jane'].reduce(function(acc,y,idx) { return
x.indexOf(y)>=0?idx:acc },-1) })
[0, 0, 1, 2]
