Returns the elements that exist in both arrays, filtering duplicate values.
- Create a `Set` from `b`, then use `Array.prototype.filter()` on `a` to only keep values contained in `b`.
```js
const intersection = (a, b) => {
const s = new Set(b);
return [...new Set(a)].filter(x => s.has(x));
};
```
```js
intersection([1, 2, 3], [4, 3, 2]); // [2, 3]
```
