Intermediate Algorithm Scripting, Wherefore art thou help

JavaScript

function whatIsInAName(collection, source) {
  var arr = [];
  // Only change code below this line
 
  for(let j = 0;j < collection.length;j++){
    let obj = collection[j];
    let objProps = Object.keys(obj);
    let sourceProps = Object.keys(source);
    let matchCounter = 0;
    
    for(const prop in source){
      if (obj.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
        if (obj[prop] === source[prop]) {
          matchCounter++;
        }
      }
    }
    console.log(matchCounter);
     for(const prop in source){
      if (obj.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
        if ((obj[prop] === source[prop]) && matchCounter === sourceProps.length) {
          arr.push(obj);
        }
      }
      
    }
  }

   
  

  // Only change code above this line
  return arr;
}

console.log(whatIsInAName([{ "apple": 1, "bat": 2 }, { "bat": 2 }, { "apple": 1, "bat": 2, "cookie": 2 }], { "apple": 1, "bat": 2 }));

Here is my solution so far. I get duplicates as return value. How do I fix it. Someone please help.

@daiwik Try Set method it will be perfect for your case. Set - JavaScript | MDN

Here is my solution to your problem.

sorry but it doesn’t work in https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/intermediate-algorithm-scripting/wherefore-art-thou
arr can’t be changed.
I tried
creating let result = new Set(); and replaced arr with result. later assigned result to arr but no luck.

function whatIsInAName(collection, source) {
  var arr = [];
  // Only change code below this line
  let result = new Set();
  for(let j = 0;j < collection.length;j++){
    let obj = collection[j];
    let objProps = Object.keys(obj);
    let sourceProps = Object.keys(source);
    let matchCounter = 0;
    
    for(const prop in source){
      if (obj.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
        if (obj[prop] === source[prop]) {
          matchCounter++;
        }
      }
    }
     for(const prop in source){
      if (obj.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
        if ((obj[prop] === source[prop]) && matchCounter === sourceProps.length) {
          result.add(obj);
        }
      }
      
    }
  }

   
  arr = result;
  

  // Only change code above this line
  return arr;
}

console.log(whatIsInAName([{ "apple": 1, "bat": 2 }, { "bat": 2 }, { "apple": 1, "bat": 2, "cookie": 2 }], { "apple": 1, "bat": 2 }));

Instead do this
return [...new Set(arr)]
