我想要一个类似的函数，它接受一个旧数组和一个新数组，并给我一个添加项的数组和一个删除项的数组，我希望它是有效的(所以没有.contains!)。

你可以在这里尝试我提出的解决方案:http://jsbin.com/osewu3/12。

有人能看出算法的问题或改进吗?谢谢!

代码清单:

function diff(o, n) {
  // deal with empty lists
  if (o == undefined) o = [];
  if (n == undefined) n = [];

  // sort both arrays (or this won't work)
  o.sort(); n.sort();

  // don't compare if either list is empty
  if (o.length == 0 || n.length == 0) return {added: n, removed: o};

  // declare temporary variables
  var op = 0; var np = 0;
  var a = []; var r = [];

  // compare arrays and add to add or remove lists
  while (op < o.length && np < n.length) {
      if (o[op] < n[np]) {
          // push to diff?
          r.push(o[op]);
          op++;
      }
      else if (o[op] > n[np]) {
          // push to diff?
          a.push(n[np]);
          np++;
      }
      else {
          op++;np++;
      }
  }

  // add remaining items
  if( np < n.length )
    a = a.concat(n.slice(np, n.length));
  if( op < o.length )
    r = r.concat(o.slice(op, o.length));

  return {added: a, removed: r}; 
}

var compare = array1.length > array2.length ? array1 : array2;
var compareWith = array1.length > array2.length ? array2 : array1;
var uniqueValues = compareWith.filter(function(value){
                    if(compare.indexOf(vakye) == -1)
                       return true;
                   });

这将检查数组中哪个更大，然后进行比较。

我同意@luis-sieira的解决方案

我创建了位自解释函数，便于初学者一步一步理解:

function difference(oneArr, twoArr){
  var newArr = [];
  newArr = oneArr.filter((item)=>{
      return !twoArr.includes(item)
  });
  console.log(newArr)
    let arr = twoArr.filter((item)=>{
        return !oneArr.includes(item)
     });
    newArr =  newArr.concat(arr);
  console.log(newArr)
}
difference([1, 2, 3, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

    function arrayDiff(a, b) {
      return a.concat(b).filter(val => !(b.includes(val)));
      //(or) return a.concat(b).filter(val => !(a.includes(val) && b.includes(val)));
    }

使用额外的内存来做到这一点。这样你可以用更少的时间复杂度来求解，O(n)而不是O(n *n)

function getDiff(arr1,arr2){
let k = {};
let diff = []
arr1.map(i=>{
    if (!k.hasOwnProperty(i)) {
        k[i] = 1
    }
}
)
arr2.map(j=>{
    if (!k.hasOwnProperty(j)) {
        k[j] = 1;
    } else {
        k[j] = 2;
    }
}
)
for (var i in k) {
    if (k[i] === 1)
        diff.push(+i)
}
return diff
}
getDiff([4, 3, 52, 3, 5, 67, 9, 3],[4, 5, 6, 75, 3, 334, 5, 5, 6])

下面是一个稍微修改的版本，它使用Object来存储哈希，可以处理数组中的数字和字符串。

function arrDiff(a, b) {
  const hash = {};
  a.forEach(n => { hash[n] = n; });
  b.forEach(n => {
    if (hash[n]) {
      delete hash[n];
    } else {
      hash[n] = n;
    }
  });
  return Object.values(hash);
}
