I am trying to figure out a solution for symmetric difference using javascript that accomplishes the following objectives:
function sym(arr1, arr2, ...rest) {
//creating a array which has unique numbers from both the arrays
const union = [...new Set([...arr1,...arr2])];
// finding the Symmetric Difference between those two arrays
const diff = union.filter((num)=> !(arr1.includes(num) && arr2.includes(num)))
//if there are more than 2 arrays
if(rest.length){
// recurrsively call till rest become 0
// i.e. diff of 1,2 will be the first parameter so every recurrsive call will reduce // the arrays till diff between all of them are calculated.
return sym(diff, rest[0], ...rest.slice(1))
}
return diff
}
