How do I find the same elements in two arrays that are at different indexes?

So I'm trying to come up with a solution that parses through two arrays and finds identical elements that are at different indexes.
Are there any ideas for a solution in Java?

What I have tried:

So one of the methods I have tried is making a boolean function and returning everything that both arrays contain.

The problem is that I can't find a way to scan all the indexes and return something that matches except on the same index.

If there are any suggestions I would be really grateful

Solution 1

You need two loops:
The outer one selects each element in the first array.
The inner one searches the second array for any value that matches the current one from the outer loop.
When you find a match, break out of the loop(s) and display the two index values.
