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.`.

symmetricDifferenceBy

Returns the symmetric difference between two arrays, after applying the provided function to each array element of both.

Create a Set by applying fn to each array's elements, then use Array.prototype.filter() on each of them to only keep values not contained in the other.

const symmetricDifferenceBy = (a, b, fn) => {
  const sA = new Set(a.map(v => fn(v))),
    sB = new Set(b.map(v => fn(v)));
  return [...a.filter(x => !sB.has(fn(x))), ...b.filter(x => !sA.has(fn(x)))];
};
symmetricDifferenceBy([2.1, 1.2], [2.3, 3.4], Math.floor); // [ 1.2, 3.4 ]
