Javascript algorithm to find elements in array that are not in another array

I\'m looking for a good algorithm to get all the elements in one array that are not elements in another array. So given these arrays:

var x = [\"a\",\"b\",\         


        

Answer 1

Late answer with the new ECMA5 javascript:

var x = ["a","b","c","t"];
var y = ["d","a","t","e","g"];

myArray = y.filter( function( el ) {
  return x.indexOf( el ) < 0;
});
