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]
|
|
``` |
