Gives values of array not present in another. :package: :smiley_cat: :running: :vhs: :moon: :scroll: :newspaper: :blue_book:

Similar: union, intersection, difference, symmetricDifference.

This is part of package extra-array.

This is browserified, minified version of @extra-array/difference. It is exported as global variable array_difference. CDN: unpkg, jsDelivr.

array.difference(x, y, [fc], [fm]);
// x:  an array
// y:  another array
// fc: compare function (a, b)
// fm: map function (v, i, x)

:stopwatch: Compare function => O(n²).

const array = require("extra-array");

var x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
var y = [2, 4];
array.difference(x, y);
// [ 1, 3, 5 ]

var y = [-2, -4];
array.difference(x, y);
// [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]

array.difference(x, y, (a, b) => Math.abs(a) - Math.abs(b));
// [ 1, 3, 5 ]

array.difference(x, y, null, v => Math.abs(v));
// [ 1, 3, 5 ]
