function diff(arr1, arr2) {
  var filteredArr1 = arr1.filter(function(ele) {
    return arr2.indexOf(ele) == -1;
  });

  var filteredArr2 = arr2.filter(function(ele) {
    return arr1.indexOf(ele) == -1;
  });
  return filteredArr1.concat(filteredArr2);
}

diff([1, "calf", 3, "piglet"], [1, "calf", 3, 4]); // Log ["piglet",4]

如果你有两个对象列表

const people = [{name: 'cesar', age: 23}]
const morePeople = [{name: 'cesar', age: 23}, {name: 'kevin', age: 26}, {name: 'pedro', age: 25}]

let result2 = morePeople.filter(person => people.every(person2 => !person2.name.includes(person.name)))

function array_diff(a, b) {

    let array = [];
    for(let i = 0; i <a.length; i++) {
        let k = 0;
        for( let j = 0; j < b.length; j++) {
            if(a[i]!==b[j]) {
                k++;
            }
            if(k===b.length) {
                array = array.concat(a[i]);
            }
        }

        if(b.length ===0) {
            array = array.concat(a[i]);
        }
    }
    return array;
}

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}; 
}

使用indexOf()的解决方案对于小型数组是可以的，但是随着长度的增长，算法的性能将接近O(n^2)。这里有一个解决方案，将执行非常大的数组使用对象作为关联数组存储数组项作为键;它还自动消除重复项，但只适用于字符串值(或可以安全地存储为字符串的值):

function arrayDiff(a1, a2) {
  var o1={}, o2={}, diff=[], i, len, k;
  for (i=0, len=a1.length; i<len; i++) { o1[a1[i]] = true; }
  for (i=0, len=a2.length; i<len; i++) { o2[a2[i]] = true; }
  for (k in o1) { if (!(k in o2)) { diff.push(k); } }
  for (k in o2) { if (!(k in o1)) { diff.push(k); } }
  return diff;
}

var a1 = ['a', 'b'];
var a2 = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
arrayDiff(a1, a2); // => ['c', 'd']
arrayDiff(a2, a1); // => ['c', 'd']

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
