Trying to solve symmetric difference using Javascript

Question

I am trying to figure out a solution for symmetric difference using javascript that accomplishes the following objectives:

• accepts an unspecified number of ar

Answer 1

My short solution. At the end, I removed duplicates by filter().

function sym() {
  var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
  var almost = args.reduce(function(a,b){
    return b.filter(function(i) {return a.indexOf(i) < 0;})
    .concat(a.filter(function(i){return b.indexOf(i)<0;}));
  });
  return almost.filter(function(el, pos){return almost.indexOf(el) == pos;});
}

sym([1, 1, 2, 5], [2, 2, 3, 5], [3, 4, 5, 5]);

//Result: [4,5,1]
