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?

这就是我如何得到两个数组的不同。纯净干净。

它将返回一个包含[add list]和[remove list]的对象。

  function getDiff(past, now) {
        let ret = { add: [], remove: [] };
        for (var i = 0; i < now.length; i++) {
          if (past.indexOf(now[i]) < 0)
            ret['add'].push(now[i]);
        }
        for (var i = 0; i < past.length; i++) {
          if (now.indexOf(past[i]) < 0)
            ret['remove'].push(past[i]);
        }
        return ret;
      }

根据之前的答案…取决于你是想要一个高效的还是“漂亮的联机”解决方案。

一般有三种方法……

"manual iterative" (using indexOf) - naive with O(n2) complexity (slow) var array_diff_naive = function(a,b){ var i, la = a.length, lb = b.length, res = []; if (!la) return b; else if (!lb) return a; for (i = 0; i < la; i++) { if (b.indexOf(a[i]) === -1) res.push(a[i]); } for (i = 0; i < lb; i++) { if (a.indexOf(b[i]) === -1) res.push(b[i]); } return res; } "abstract iterative" (using filter and concat library methods) - syntactic sugar for manual iterative (looks nicer, still sucks) var array_diff_modern = function(a1,a2){ return a1.filter(function(v) { return !a2.includes(v); } ) .concat(a2.filter(function(v) { return !a1.includes(v);})); } "using hashtable" (using object keys) - much more efficient - only O(n), but has slightly limited range of input array values var array_diff_hash = function(a1,a2){ var a = [], diff = []; for (var i = 0; i < a1.length; i++) { a[a1[i]] = true; } for (var i = 0; i < a2.length; i++) { if (a[a2[i]]) { delete a[a2[i]]; } else { a[a2[i]] = true; } } for (var k in a) { diff.push(k); } return diff; }

ES2015的函数方法

计算两个数组之间的差值是Set操作之一。这个术语已经表明应该使用本机Set类型，以便提高查找速度。不管怎样，当你计算两个集合之间的差值时，有三种排列:

[+left difference] [-intersection] [-right difference]
[-left difference] [-intersection] [+right difference]
[+left difference] [-intersection] [+right difference]

下面是反映这些排列的功能性解决方案。

离开的区别:

// small, reusable auxiliary functions const apply = f => x => f(x); const flip = f => y => x => f(x) (y); const createSet = xs => new Set(xs); const filter = f => xs => xs.filter(apply(f)); // left difference const differencel = xs => ys => { const zs = createSet(ys); return filter(x => zs.has(x) ? false : true ) (xs); }; // mock data const xs = [1,2,2,3,4,5]; const ys = [0,1,2,3,3,3,6,7,8,9]; // run the computation console.log( differencel(xs) (ys) );

正确的区别:

差异是微不足道的。这与翻转的参数不同。为了方便，你可以写一个函数:const differencer = flip(difference)。这是所有!

对称的区别:

现在我们有了左边和右边，实现对称的差异也变得微不足道:

// small, reusable auxiliary functions const apply = f => x => f(x); const flip = f => y => x => f(x) (y); const concat = y => xs => xs.concat(y); const createSet = xs => new Set(xs); const filter = f => xs => xs.filter(apply(f)); // left difference const differencel = xs => ys => { const zs = createSet(ys); return filter(x => zs.has(x) ? false : true ) (xs); }; // symmetric difference const difference = ys => xs => concat(differencel(xs) (ys)) (flip(differencel) (xs) (ys)); // mock data const xs = [1,2,2,3,4,5]; const ys = [0,1,2,3,3,3,6,7,8,9]; // run the computation console.log( difference(xs) (ys) );

我想这个例子是一个很好的起点，可以让你了解函数式编程的含义:

使用可以以许多不同方式组合在一起的构建块进行编程。

如果数组不是简单类型，则可以采用上面的答案之一:

Array.prototype.diff = function(a) {
        return this.filter(function(i) {return a.map(function(e) { return JSON.stringify(e); }).indexOf(JSON.stringify(i)) < 0;});
    };

这种方法适用于复杂对象的数组。

const difference = function (baseArray, arrayToCampare, callback = (a, b) => a!== b) {
  if (!(arrayToCampare instanceof Array)) {
    return baseArray;
  }
  return baseArray.filter(baseEl =>
    arrayToCampare.every(compareEl => callback(baseEl, compareEl)));
}
