Just had some fun with Javascript (and Prototype):
/** * Will return those elements which are added in cmp * @author Michael Jostmeyer * @param {Array} cmp * @return {Array} */ Object.extend(Array.prototype, { diff: function(cmp) { var res=[], resi=0, neq, cmpi=cmp.length, thisi, thisl = this.length; while (cmpi--) { thisi=thisl; while (thisi-- && (neq = cmp[cmpi] !== this[thisi])); neq && (res[resi++] = cmp[cmpi]); } return res; }});
With this you are able to get those values which are additionaly in the cmp-Array. These values are returned in a new Array.
var a = [1,2,3,5,6]; var b = [1,3,5,7,9]; var x = a.diff(b); //x=[9, 7] var y = b.diff(a) //y=[6, 2]
Enjoy it!
