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.`.

### uniqueSymmetricDifference
Returns the unique symmetric difference between two arrays, not containing duplicate values from either array.
Use `Array.prototype.filter()` and `Array.prototype.includes()` on each array to remove values contained in the other, then create a `Set` from the results, removing duplicate values.
```js
const uniqueSymmetricDifference = (a, b) => [
...new Set([...a.filter(v => !b.includes(v)), ...b.filter(v => !a.includes(v))])
];
```
```js
uniqueSymmetricDifference([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 4]); // [3, 4]
uniqueSymmetricDifference([1, 2, 2], [1, 3, 1]); // [2, 3]
```
