JavaScript: Tips of the Day

Returns the unique symmetric difference between two arrays, not containing duplicate values from either array

Example:

const uniqueSymmetricDifference = (a, b) => [
  ...new Set([...a.filter(v => !b.includes(v)), ...b.filter(v => !a.includes(v))])
];
console.log(uniqueSymmetricDifference([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 4])); // [3, 4]
console.log(uniqueSymmetricDifference([1, 2, 2], [1, 3, 1])); // [2, 3]

Output:

[3, 4]
[2, 3]
