I just wrote array intersection that correctly handles also duplicates

// array intersection that correctly handles also duplicates

const intersection = (a1, a2) => {
  const cnt = new Map();
  a2.map(el => cnt[el] = el in cnt ? cnt[el] + 1 : 1);
  return a1.filter(el => el in cnt && 0 < cnt[el]--);
};

const l = console.log;
l(intersection('1234'.split``, '3456'.split``)); // [ '3', '4' ]
l(intersection('12344'.split``, '3456'.split``)); // [ '3', '4' ]
l(intersection('1234'.split``, '33456'.split``)); // [ '3', '4' ]
l(intersection('12334'.split``, '33456'.split``)); // [ '3', '3', '4' ]
