在coffescript中N个数组的交集

getIntersection: (arrays) ->
    if not arrays.length
        return []
    a1 = arrays[0]
    for a2 in arrays.slice(1)
        a = (val for val in a1 when val in a2)
        a1 = a
    return a1.unique()

如果只使用关联数组呢?

function intersect(a, b) {
    var d1 = {};
    var d2 = {};
    var results = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
        d1[a[i]] = true;
    }
    for (var j = 0; j < b.length; j++) {
        d2[b[j]] = true;
    }
    for (var k in d1) {
        if (d2[k]) 
            results.push(k);
    }
    return results;
}

编辑:

// new version
function intersect(a, b) {
    var d = {};
    var results = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < b.length; i++) {
        d[b[i]] = true;
    }
    for (var j = 0; j < a.length; j++) {
        if (d[a[j]]) 
            results.push(a[j]);
    }
    return results;
}

破坏性似乎是最简单的，特别是如果我们可以假设输入是排序的:

/* destructively finds the intersection of 
 * two arrays in a simple fashion.  
 *
 * PARAMS
 *  a - first array, must already be sorted
 *  b - second array, must already be sorted
 *
 * NOTES
 *  State of input arrays is undefined when
 *  the function returns.  They should be 
 *  (prolly) be dumped.
 *
 *  Should have O(n) operations, where n is 
 *    n = MIN(a.length, b.length)
 */
function intersection_destructive(a, b)
{
  var result = [];
  while( a.length > 0 && b.length > 0 )
  {  
     if      (a[0] < b[0] ){ a.shift(); }
     else if (a[0] > b[0] ){ b.shift(); }
     else /* they're equal */
     {
       result.push(a.shift());
       b.shift();
     }
  }

  return result;
}

非破坏性的要稍微复杂一点，因为我们要跟踪指标:

/* finds the intersection of 
 * two arrays in a simple fashion.  
 *
 * PARAMS
 *  a - first array, must already be sorted
 *  b - second array, must already be sorted
 *
 * NOTES
 *
 *  Should have O(n) operations, where n is 
 *    n = MIN(a.length(), b.length())
 */
function intersect_safe(a, b)
{
  var ai=0, bi=0;
  var result = [];

  while( ai < a.length && bi < b.length )
  {
     if      (a[ai] < b[bi] ){ ai++; }
     else if (a[ai] > b[bi] ){ bi++; }
     else /* they're equal */
     {
       result.push(a[ai]);
       ai++;
       bi++;
     }
  }

  return result;
}

使用Array.prototype.filter和Array.prototype.includes的组合:

const filteredArray = array1.filter(value => array2.includes(value));

对于较旧的浏览器，使用Array.prototype.indexOf且不使用箭头函数:

var filteredArray = array1.filter(function(n) {
    return array2.indexOf(n) !== -1;
});

NB !.includes和. indexof都在内部使用===来比较数组中的元素，所以如果数组包含对象，它只比较对象引用(而不是对象的内容)。如果你想指定自己的比较逻辑，请使用Array.prototype.some。

简单性:

// Usage
const intersection = allLists
  .reduce(intersect, allValues)
  .reduce(removeDuplicates, []);


// Implementation
const intersect = (intersection, list) =>
  intersection.filter(item =>
    list.some(x => x === item));

const removeDuplicates = (uniques, item) =>
  uniques.includes(item) ? uniques : uniques.concat(item);


// Example Data
const somePeople = [bob, doug, jill];
const otherPeople = [sarah, bob, jill];
const morePeople = [jack, jill];

const allPeople = [...somePeople, ...otherPeople, ...morePeople];
const allGroups = [somePeople, otherPeople, morePeople];

// Example Usage
const intersection = allGroups
  .reduce(intersect, allPeople)
  .reduce(removeDuplicates, []);

intersection; // [jill]

好处:

泥土简单 以数据为中心的 适用于任意数量的列表 适用于任意长度的列表 适用于任意类型的值 适用于任意排序顺序 保留形状(在任何数组中首次出现的顺序) 尽可能早退出 内存安全，不影响函数/数组原型

缺点:

内存占用率较高 更高的CPU使用率 需要理解reduce 需要理解数据流

你不希望将其用于3D引擎或内核工作，但如果你在基于事件的应用程序中运行时遇到问题，那么你的设计就有更大的问题。

下面是underscore.js的实现:

_.intersection = function(array) {
  if (array == null) return [];
  var result = [];
  var argsLength = arguments.length;
  for (var i = 0, length = array.length; i < length; i++) {
    var item = array[i];
    if (_.contains(result, item)) continue;
    for (var j = 1; j < argsLength; j++) {
      if (!_.contains(arguments[j], item)) break;
    }
    if (j === argsLength) result.push(item);
  }
  return result;
};
