困难的方法(如果你想做一些比.indexOf更奇特的东西)

var difference = function (source, target) {
    return source.reduce(function (diff, current) { 
        if (target.indexOf(current) === -1) { 
            diff.push(current); 
        }

        return diff; 
    }, []);
}

简单的方法

var difference = function (source, target) {
    return source.filter(function (current) {
        return target.indexOf(current) === -1;
    });
}

非常简单的解决方案与JavaScript的过滤器功能:

Var a1 = ['a'， 'b']; Var a2 = ['a'， 'b'， 'c'， 'd']; (arr1, arr2) { var newArr = []; var myArr = ar1 .concat(arr2); newArr = myArr.filter(函数(项){ return arr2.indexOf(item) < 0 || arr1.indexOf(item) < 0; })； 警报(newArr); ｝ diffArray (a1, a2);

简单地比较所有值，并返回数组与不重复的值。

var main = [9, '$', 'x', 'r', 3, 'A', '#', 0, 1];

var arr0 = ['Z', 9, 'e', '$', 'r'];
var arr1 = ['x', 'r', 3, 'A', '#'];
var arr2 = ['m', '#', 'a', 0, 'r'];
var arr3 = ['$', 1, 'n', '!', 'A'];


Array.prototype.diff = function(arrays) {
    var items = [].concat.apply(this, arguments);
    var diff = [].slice.call(items), i, l, x, pos;

    // go through all items
    for (x = 0, i = 0, l = items.length; i < l; x = 0, i++) {
        // find all positions
        while ((pos = diff.indexOf(items[i])) > -1) {
            // remove item + increase found count
            diff.splice(pos, 1) && x++;
        }
        // if item was found just once, put it back
        if (x === 1) diff.push(items[i]);
    }
    // get all not duplicated items
    return diff;
};

main.diff(arr0, arr1, arr2, arr3).join(''); // returns "Zeman!"

[].diff(main, arr0, arr1, arr2, arr3).join(''); // returns "Zeman!"

使用http://phrogz.net/JS/ArraySetMath.js你可以:

var array1 = ["test1", "test2","test3", "test4"];
var array2 = ["test1", "test2","test3","test4", "test5", "test6"];

var array3 = array2.subtract( array1 );
// ["test5", "test6"]

var array4 = array1.exclusion( array2 );
// ["test5", "test6"]

下划线中的差分方法(或它的替换，Lo-Dash)也可以做到这一点:

(R)eturns the values from array that are not present in the other arrays

_.difference([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [5, 2, 10]);
=> [1, 3, 4]

与任何下划线函数一样，你也可以以更面向对象的风格使用它:

_([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]).difference([5, 2, 10]);

我想要一个类似的函数，它接受一个旧数组和一个新数组，并给我一个添加项的数组和一个删除项的数组，我希望它是有效的(所以没有.contains!)。

你可以在这里尝试我提出的解决方案:http://jsbin.com/osewu3/12。

有人能看出算法的问题或改进吗?谢谢!

代码清单:

function diff(o, n) {
  // deal with empty lists
  if (o == undefined) o = [];
  if (n == undefined) n = [];

  // sort both arrays (or this won't work)
  o.sort(); n.sort();

  // don't compare if either list is empty
  if (o.length == 0 || n.length == 0) return {added: n, removed: o};

  // declare temporary variables
  var op = 0; var np = 0;
  var a = []; var r = [];

  // compare arrays and add to add or remove lists
  while (op < o.length && np < n.length) {
      if (o[op] < n[np]) {
          // push to diff?
          r.push(o[op]);
          op++;
      }
      else if (o[op] > n[np]) {
          // push to diff?
          a.push(n[np]);
          np++;
      }
      else {
          op++;np++;
      }
  }

  // add remaining items
  if( np < n.length )
    a = a.concat(n.slice(np, n.length));
  if( op < o.length )
    r = r.concat(o.slice(op, o.length));

  return {added: a, removed: r}; 
}
