是否有一种方法可以在JavaScript中返回两个数组之间的差异?

例如:

var a1 = ['a', 'b'];
var a2 = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];

// need ["c", "d"]

当前回答

简单地比较所有值,并返回数组与不重复的值。

var main = [9, '$', 'x', 'r', 3, 'A', '#', 0, 1];

var arr0 = ['Z', 9, 'e', '$', 'r'];
var arr1 = ['x', 'r', 3, 'A', '#'];
var arr2 = ['m', '#', 'a', 0, 'r'];
var arr3 = ['$', 1, 'n', '!', 'A'];


Array.prototype.diff = function(arrays) {
    var items = [].concat.apply(this, arguments);
    var diff = [].slice.call(items), i, l, x, pos;

    // go through all items
    for (x = 0, i = 0, l = items.length; i < l; x = 0, i++) {
        // find all positions
        while ((pos = diff.indexOf(items[i])) > -1) {
            // remove item + increase found count
            diff.splice(pos, 1) && x++;
        }
        // if item was found just once, put it back
        if (x === 1) diff.push(items[i]);
    }
    // get all not duplicated items
    return diff;
};

main.diff(arr0, arr1, arr2, arr3).join(''); // returns "Zeman!"

[].diff(main, arr0, arr1, arr2, arr3).join(''); // returns "Zeman!"

困难的方法(如果你想做一些比.indexOf更奇特的东西)

var difference = function (source, target) {
    return source.reduce(function (diff, current) { 
        if (target.indexOf(current) === -1) { 
            diff.push(current); 
        }

        return diff; 
    }, []);
}

简单的方法

var difference = function (source, target) {
    return source.filter(function (current) {
        return target.indexOf(current) === -1;
    });
}

贡献一个jQuery解决方案,我目前正在使用:

if (!Array.prototype.diff) {
    Array.prototype.diff = function (a) {
        return $.grep(this, function (i) { return $.inArray(i, a) === -1; });
    }; 
}

下划线中的差分方法(或它的替换,Lo-Dash)也可以做到这一点:

(R)eturns the values from array that are not present in the other arrays

_.difference([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [5, 2, 10]);
=> [1, 3, 4]

与任何下划线函数一样,你也可以以更面向对象的风格使用它:

_([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]).difference([5, 2, 10]);

如果不使用hasOwnProperty,那么我们有不正确的元素。例如:

[1,2,3].diff([1,2]); //Return ["3", "remove", "diff"] This is the wrong version

我的版本:

Array.prototype.diff = function(array2)
  {
    var a = [],
        diff = [],
        array1 = this || [];

    for (var i = 0; i < array1.length; i++) {
      a[array1[i]] = true;
    }
    for (var i = 0; i < array2.length; i++) {
      if (a[array2[i]]) {
        delete a[array2[i]];
      } else {
        a[array2[i]] = true;
      }
    }

    for (var k in a) {
      if (!a.hasOwnProperty(k)){
        continue;
      }
      diff.push(k);
    }

    return diff;
  }

使用ES7有一个更好的方法:


十字路口

 let intersection = arr1.filter(x => arr2.includes(x));

对于[1,2,3][2,3],它将生成[2,3]。另一方面,for[1,2,3][2,3,5]将返回相同的结果。


区别

let difference = arr1.filter(x => !arr2.includes(x));

对于[1,2,3][2,3],它将生成[1]。另一方面,for[1,2,3][2,3,5]将返回相同的结果。


对于对称差分,你可以这样做:

let difference = arr1
                 .filter(x => !arr2.includes(x))
                 .concat(arr2.filter(x => !arr1.includes(x)));

通过这种方式,您将得到一个包含arr1中所有不在arr2中的元素的数组,反之亦然

正如@Joshaven Potter在他的回答中指出的,你可以把这个添加到Array中。原型,所以它可以这样使用:

Array.prototype.diff = function(arr2) { return this.filter(x => !arr2.includes(x)); }
[1, 2, 3].diff([2, 3])
