Can be created using javascript array object constructor.
new Array(size)
new Array(element0, element1, ..., elementN)
Parameters
size: The length of the array. If the value specified is not a number, an array of length 1 is created, with the first element having the specified value. The maximum length allowed for an array is 4,294,967,295.
element0,element1,...., elementN: A list of values for the array's elements

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]
