Angular Js : Scope Arrays

HTML

<div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
  this is 'a' array
<br>
  <div ng-repeat ="element in a">
      {{element.value}}
  </div>
<br>
   this is 'b' array
<br>
  <div ng-repeat ="element in b">
      {{element.value}}
  </div>
<br>
  this is final array 
<br>
   <div ng-repeat ="element in final_array">
      {{element.value}}
  </div>
</div>'

js controller

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);

//myApp.directive('myDirective', function() {});
//myApp.factory('myService', function() {});

function MyCtrl($scope) {

    $scope.a = [{
        "id": 1,
        "value": 10
    }, {
        "id": 2,
        "value": 20
    }]
    $scope.b = [{
        "id": 1,
        "value": 20
    }, {
        "id": 3,
        "value": 40
    }]
    var c = [];
    c = $scope.a.concat($scope.b)
    console.log(c)
    $scope.final_array = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < c.length; i++) {
        if ($scope.final_array.length == 0) {
            $scope.final_array.push(c[i]);

        } else {
            alert("hi")
            for (var j = 0; j < $scope.final_array.length; j++) {
                $scope.flag = 0;
                if ($scope.final_array[j].id == c[i].id) {
                    $scope.final_array[j].value = parseFloat($scope.final_array[j].value) + parseFloat(c[i].value);
                    $scope.flag = 0;
                    break;
                } else {
                    $scope.flag = 1;
                }
            }
            if ($scope.flag == 1) {
                $scope.final_array.push(c[i]);
            }
        }
    }
    console.log($scope.a)
    console.log($scope.b)

    console.log($scope.final_array)
}

I am concatenating two arrays a & b and if the value of key id is the same, I update the value. but y does it update the value of a array when I am updating on a merged array $scope.final array.

here is the fiddle JS Fiddle Demo

Because both the arrays refers to the same object, so when the object is updated both arrays will have the updated value.

You can make a copy of the original object when you copy the value to the final array to fix it

$scope.final_array.push(angular.copy(c[i]));

You can simplify the calculation logic like

var app = angular.module('my-app', [], function() {})

app.controller('AppController', function($scope) {
  $scope.a = [{
    "id": 1,
    "value": 10
  }, {
    "id": 2,
    "value": 20
  }]
  $scope.b = [{
    "id": 1,
    "value": 20
  }, {
    "id": 3,
    "value": 40
  }]

  var c = $scope.a.concat($scope.b),
    map = {};

  $scope.final_array = [];
  c.forEach(function(item) {
    if (!map[item.id]) {
      map[item.id] = angular.copy(item);
      $scope.final_array.push(map[item.id]);
    } else {
      map[item.id].value += +item.value;
    }
  });
})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="my-app">
  <div ng-controller="AppController">
    <pre>{{a}}</pre>
    <pre>{{b}}</pre>
    <pre>{{final_array}}</pre>
  </div>
</div>
