    i the initial puzzle done and now i'm working on an auto solver where you press a button and it solves for one move, right now i'm idenitifying what space is incorrect but i'm having issues with getting the second if statement to work

    function identify()
    {
     
     for(var i=0;i<15;i++)//ID what space is incorrect
     {
     	if(didUwin[i]!=pics[i])
     	{
     	 what = i
    	 i = 15
    	}
     }
     for(var i=0;i<15;i++)
     {
     	if("pics\'+what+'.jpg" == pics[i])//ID where the needed space is
     	{
     	 where = i
    	}
     }
     alert(what)
     alert(where)
    }
