var result = [];
for(var j=1; j < arr_num.length; j++)
{
if(arr_num[j-1] !== arr_num[j])
{
uniqa.push(arr_num[j]);
}

How to check whether a string contains a substring in JavaScript?
ECMAScript 6 introduced String.prototype.includes:
const string = "foo"; const substring = "oo"; console.log(string.includes(substring));
includes doesn't have Internet Explorer support, though. In ECMAScript 5 or older environments, use String.prototype.indexOf, which returns -1 when a substring cannot be found:
var string = "foo"; var substring = "oo"; console.log(string.indexOf(substring) !== -1);
