Finding the difference between two sets i.e. Set A and Set B is basically returning a new set that contains values of Set A that don't exist in Set B or vice-versa.

Here's an example:

var a = [1,2,3,4,5];
var b = [1,1,2,3,4];

I wrote a shorter implementation using JavaScript's .filter() method:

function array_diff(a,b){
    return a.filter(i => b.indexOf(i) === -1);
}    

Once you execute this method, you'll get the following as a result:

var c = array_diff(a,b);
console.log(c) // returns [5]

BONUS: What does the .filter() method do?

This method returns a new array with elements that pass the conditions provided by a callback function.

If the conditions aren't passed, you'll receive an empty array.

In this article, (i => b.indexOf(i) === -1) is considered as the callback function in which the i refers to the index of the current element of array A and is then used as a parameter to check if the element doesn't exist in array B.

The neat thing about this method is that it doesn't mutate on the array that it's being called from.
