### difference
Returns the difference between two iterables.
Use list comprehension to only keep values not contained in `b`. Use set to test `in` in `O(1)` time.
```python
def difference(a, b):
_b = set(b)
return [item for item in a if item not in _b]
```
``` python
difference([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 4]) # [3]
```
