Is there a fast and efficient way to compare two arrays in AppGameKit? Is a function with a loop that goes through the two arrays the fastest way?

Strings, or integers. I am currently using one string and manipulating it with mid and concatination. But it's probably really inefficient, but useful for comparisons.

If I use an array instead, I could use either strings or the char-int values depending on memory and speed.

for t =1 to 20
for n = 1 to 20
for x = 1 to 20
for y=1 to 20
if one_array[t,n].array = two_array[x,y].array then exit
next y
if one_array[t,n].array = two_array[x,y].array then exit
next x
if one_array[t,n].array = two_array[x,y].array then exit
next n
if one_array[t,n].array = two_array[x,y].array then exit
next t



If using single dimension arrays with no type

for t =1 to 20
for x = 1 to 20
if one_array[t] = two_array[x] then exit //exits loop if true
next x
if one_array[t] = two_array[x] then exit //exits loop if true
next t


Would this work?

if you will compare strings you can compare the length before you compare the text.
if you need compare items again and again maybe create a checksum or id.
