Filters out all values from an array for which the comparator function does not return `true`.
- Use `Array.prototype.filter()` and `Array.prototype.findIndex()` to find the appropriate values.
- Omit the last argument, `comp`, to use a default strict equality comparator.
```js
const differenceWith = (arr, val, comp = (a, b) => a === b) =>
arr.filter(a => val.findIndex(b => comp(a, b)) === -1);
```
```js
differenceWith(
[1, 1.2, 1.5, 3, 0],
[1.9, 3, 0],
(a, b) => Math.round(a) === Math.round(b)
); // [1, 1.2]
differenceWith([1, 1.2, 1.3], [1, 1.3, 1.5]); // [1.2]
```
