Mathias Bynens 8ee50178f3 Avoid confusing prototype methods for static methods
Correct: `Array.from()` (it’s a static method)
Incorrect: `Array.join()` (doesn’t exist; it’s a prototype method)

This patch uses the common `#` syntax to denote `.prototype.`.

### difference
Returns the difference between two arrays.
Create a `Set` from `b`, then use `Array.prototype.filter()` on `a` to only keep values not contained in `b`.
```js
const difference = (a, b) => {
const s = new Set(b);
return a.filter(x => !s.has(x));
};
```
```js
difference([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 4]); // [3]
```
