JavaScript: Get the symmetric difference between two given arrays, after applying the provided function to each array element of both
JavaScript: Exercise-133 with Solution
Write a JavaScript program to get the symmetric difference between two given arrays, after applying the provided function to each array element of both.
- Create a new Set() from each array to get the unique values of each one after applying fn to them.
- Use Array.prototype.filter() on each of them to only keep values not contained in the other.
Sample Solution:
JavaScript Code:
//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2
const symmetricDifferenceBy = (a, b, fn) => {
const sA = new Set(a.map(v => fn(v))),
sB = new Set(b.map(v => fn(v)));
return [...a.filter(x => !sB.has(fn(x))), ...b.filter(x => !sA.has(fn(x)))];
};
console.log(symmetricDifferenceBy([2.1, 1.2], [2.3, 3.4], Math.floor));
Sample Output:
[1.2,3.4]
