求两个没有重复项的数组的差值:

function difference(arr1, arr2){

  let setA = new Set(arr1);
  let differenceSet = new Set(arr2.filter(ele => !setA.has(ele)));
  return [...differenceSet ];

}

1.difference([2,2,3,4]，[2,3,3,4])将返回[]

2.difference([1,2,3]，[4,5,6])将返回[4,5,6]

3.difference([1,2,3,4]，[1,2])返回[]

4.difference([1,2]，[1,2,3,4])将返回[3,4]

注意:上述解决方案要求始终将较大的数组作为第二个参数发送。要找到绝对差值，首先需要找到两者的较大数组，然后对它们进行处理。

求两个不存在重复项的数组的绝对差值:

function absDifference(arr1, arr2){

  const {larger, smaller} = arr1.length > arr2.length ? 
  {larger: arr1, smaller: arr2} : {larger: arr2, smaller: arr1}
  
  let setA = new Set(smaller);
  let absDifferenceSet = new Set(larger.filter(ele => !setA.has(ele)));
  return [...absDifferenceSet ];

}

1. absdifference((2, 2, 3, 4),[2、3、3、4])将返回[]

2. absdifference([1, 2, 3],[4、5、6])将返回(4、5、6)

3. absdifference([1、2、3、4],[1,2])将返回(3、4)

4. absdifference([1, 2],[1、2、3、4])将返回(3、4)

请注意这两个解决方案中的示例3

我就遇到了这个问题，就是求两个简单数组的差值

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

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

我不明白为什么不使用基本的for循环:

for(var i=0; i < a1.length; i++) {
  for(var j=0; j < a2.length; j++) {
    if(a1[i] == a2[j]) {
      a2.splice(j, 1);
    }
  }
}

这将返回所需的["c"， "d"]

[编辑]提议正上方，看到晚了。

不管怎样，有什么好的理由来避免这个简单的解决方案吗?

function diffArray(newArr, oldArr) {
    var newSet = new Set(newArr)
    var diff = []
    oldArr.forEach((a) => {
        if(!newSet.delete(a))diff.push(a)
    })
    return diff.concat(Array.from(newSet)) 
}

快速的解决方案。尽管似乎其他人已经发布了相同方法的不同变体。我不确定这是否适合大型数组，但它适用于不大于10或15的数组。

差b - a

for(var i = 0; i < b.length; i++){
  for(var j = 0; j < a.length; j ++){
    var loc = b.indexOf(a[j]);
    if(loc > -1){
      b.splice(loc, 1);
    }
  }
}

纯JavaScript解决方案(没有库) 与旧浏览器兼容(不使用过滤器) O (n ^ 2) 可选的fn回调参数，用于指定如何比较数组项

function diff(a, b, fn){ var max = Math.max(a.length, b.length); d = []; fn = typeof fn === 'function' ? fn : false for(var i=0; i < max; i++){ var ac = i < a.length ? a[i] : undefined bc = i < b.length ? b[i] : undefined; for(var k=0; k < max; k++){ ac = ac === undefined || (k < b.length && (fn ? fn(ac, b[k]) : ac == b[k])) ? undefined : ac; bc = bc === undefined || (k < a.length && (fn ? fn(bc, a[k]) : bc == a[k])) ? undefined : bc; if(ac == undefined && bc == undefined) break; } ac !== undefined && d.push(ac); bc !== undefined && d.push(bc); } return d; } alert( "Test 1: " + diff( [1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 4, 5, 6, 7] ).join(', ') + "\nTest 2: " + diff( [{id:'a',toString:function(){return this.id}},{id:'b',toString:function(){return this.id}},{id:'c',toString:function(){return this.id}},{id:'d',toString:function(){return this.id}}], [{id:'a',toString:function(){return this.id}},{id:'e',toString:function(){return this.id}},{id:'f',toString:function(){return this.id}},{id:'d',toString:function(){return this.id}}], function(a, b){ return a.id == b.id; } ).join(', ') );

只是想…为了一个挑战;-)这个工作…(对于字符串，数字等的基本数组)没有嵌套数组

function diffArrays(arr1, arr2, returnUnion){
  var ret = [];
  var test = {};
  var bigArray, smallArray, key;
  if(arr1.length >= arr2.length){
    bigArray = arr1;
    smallArray = arr2;
  } else {
    bigArray = arr2;
    smallArray = arr1;
  }
  for(var i=0;i<bigArray.length;i++){
    key = bigArray[i];
    test[key] = true;
  }
  if(!returnUnion){
    //diffing
    for(var i=0;i<smallArray.length;i++){
      key = smallArray[i];
      if(!test[key]){
        test[key] = null;
      }
    }
  } else {
    //union
    for(var i=0;i<smallArray.length;i++){
      key = smallArray[i];
      if(!test[key]){
        test[key] = true;
      }
    }
  }
  for(var i in test){
    ret.push(i);
  }
  return ret;
}

array1 = "test1", "test2","test3", "test4", "test7"
array2 = "test1", "test2","test3","test4", "test5", "test6"
diffArray = diffArrays(array1, array2);
//returns ["test5","test6","test7"]

diffArray = diffArrays(array1, array2, true);
//returns ["test1", "test2","test3","test4", "test5", "test6","test7"]

注意排序可能不会像上面提到的那样…但是如果需要的话，可以在数组上调用.sort()对其进行排序。
