JavaScript: Get an array of elements that appear in both arrays

JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-144 with Solution

Intersection of Two Arrays

Write a JavaScript program to get an array of elements that appear in both arrays.

• Use Array.prototype.includes() to determine values that are not part of values.
• Use Array.prototype.filter() to remove them.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2 

// Define the function to find similarity between two arrays
const similarity = (arr, values) =>
  // Filter elements from the first array that are also present in the second array
  arr.filter(v => values.includes(v));

// Test the function with examples
console.log(similarity([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 4])); // Output: [1, 2]

Output:

[1,2]
