这个答案是2009年写的，所以有点过时了，但是对于理解这个问题还是很有教育意义的。我今天最好的解决办法是

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

(此处致谢给其他作者)

我假设你比较的是一个普通数组。如果不是，你需要将for循环改为for ..在循环。

函数arr_diff (a1, a2) { Var a = []， diff = []; For (var I = 0;I < a1.length;我+ +){ A [a1[i]] = true; ｝ For (var I = 0;I < a2.length;我+ +){ If (a[a2[i]]) { 删除一个[a2[我]]; }其他{ A [a2[i]] = true; ｝ ｝ 对于(var k in a) { diff.push (k); ｝ 返回差异; ｝ console.log (arr_diff ([a, b], [a, b, c, d '))); console.log (arr_diff(“abcd”、"中的")); console.log (arr_diff(“必杀技”,“必杀技”));

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。

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)) 
}

这个怎么样:

Array.prototype.contains = function(needle){
  for (var i=0; i<this.length; i++)
    if (this[i] == needle) return true;

  return false;
} 

Array.prototype.diff = function(compare) {
    return this.filter(function(elem) {return !compare.contains(elem);})
}

var a = new Array(1,4,7, 9);
var b = new Array(4, 8, 7);
alert(a.diff(b));

这样你就可以用array1。diff(array2)来得到它们的区别算法的时间复杂度很可怕- O(array1。长度(我相信)

CoffeeScript版本:

diff = (val for val in array1 when val not in array2)

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);
}
