这里是使用地图的更快的方法

const arr1 = ['a','b','c','d'];
const arr2 = ['a','b','c']
let table = {}
arr1.forEach(v=>{table[v]=false})
arr2.forEach(v=>{
    if(table[v]===false) table[v] = true
    else table[v] = false
})
const diff = Object.keys(table).filter(v=>table[v]==false)

只是修整字符串以确保....空格不会影响差异

function arr_diff(a1, a2) {
    var a=[], diff=[];
    for(var i=0;i<a1.length;i++)
        a[a1[i]]=true;
    for(var i=0;i<a2.length;i++)
        if(a[a2[i].trim()]) delete a[a2[i].trim()];
    else a[a2[i].trim()]=true;
    for(var k in a)
        diff.push(k);
    return diff;
}

对称和线性复杂度。需要ES6。

function arrDiff(arr1, arr2) {
    var arrays = [arr1, arr2].sort((a, b) => a.length - b.length);
    var smallSet = new Set(arrays[0]);

    return arrays[1].filter(x => !smallSet.has(x));
}

另一种解决问题的方法

function diffArray(arr1, arr2) {
    return arr1.concat(arr2).filter(function (val) {
        if (!(arr1.includes(val) && arr2.includes(val)))
            return val;
    });
}

diffArray([1, 2, 3, 7], [3, 2, 1, 4, 5]);    // return [7, 4, 5]

同样，你可以使用箭头函数语法:

const diffArray = (arr1, arr2) => arr1.concat(arr2)
    .filter(val => !(arr1.includes(val) && arr2.includes(val)));

diffArray([1, 2, 3, 7], [3, 2, 1, 4, 5]);    // return [7, 4, 5]

只是想…为了一个挑战;-)这个工作…(对于字符串，数字等的基本数组)没有嵌套数组

function diffArrays(arr1, arr2, returnUnion){
  var ret = [];
  var test = {};
  var bigArray, smallArray, key;
  if(arr1.length >= arr2.length){
    bigArray = arr1;
    smallArray = arr2;
  } else {
    bigArray = arr2;
    smallArray = arr1;
  }
  for(var i=0;i<bigArray.length;i++){
    key = bigArray[i];
    test[key] = true;
  }
  if(!returnUnion){
    //diffing
    for(var i=0;i<smallArray.length;i++){
      key = smallArray[i];
      if(!test[key]){
        test[key] = null;
      }
    }
  } else {
    //union
    for(var i=0;i<smallArray.length;i++){
      key = smallArray[i];
      if(!test[key]){
        test[key] = true;
      }
    }
  }
  for(var i in test){
    ret.push(i);
  }
  return ret;
}

array1 = "test1", "test2","test3", "test4", "test7"
array2 = "test1", "test2","test3","test4", "test5", "test6"
diffArray = diffArrays(array1, array2);
//returns ["test5","test6","test7"]

diffArray = diffArrays(array1, array2, true);
//returns ["test1", "test2","test3","test4", "test5", "test6","test7"]

注意排序可能不会像上面提到的那样…但是如果需要的话，可以在数组上调用.sort()对其进行排序。

使用indexOf()的解决方案对于小型数组是可以的，但是随着长度的增长，算法的性能将接近O(n^2)。这里有一个解决方案，将执行非常大的数组使用对象作为关联数组存储数组项作为键;它还自动消除重复项，但只适用于字符串值(或可以安全地存储为字符串的值):

function arrayDiff(a1, a2) {
  var o1={}, o2={}, diff=[], i, len, k;
  for (i=0, len=a1.length; i<len; i++) { o1[a1[i]] = true; }
  for (i=0, len=a2.length; i<len; i++) { o2[a2[i]] = true; }
  for (k in o1) { if (!(k in o2)) { diff.push(k); } }
  for (k in o2) { if (!(k in o1)) { diff.push(k); } }
  return diff;
}

var a1 = ['a', 'b'];
var a2 = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
arrayDiff(a1, a2); // => ['c', 'd']
arrayDiff(a2, a1); // => ['c', 'd']
