Function getSymmetricDifference

Represents the symmetric difference operation, which is the given set of two sets A and B that contain elements from either set, but not their intersection It is usually known either as A △ B, A ⊖ B, or A ⊕ B.

• Formal definitions:
  • A △ B = (A \ B) ∪ (B \ A): Union of the complements of both sets
  • A △ B = {x: (X ∈ A) ⊕ (X ∈ B)}: Set-builder notation with XOR operation and predicates
  • A △ B = (A ∪ B) \ (B ∪ A): Difference of the unions of both sets
• Time complexity:

Set.prototype.symmetricDifference

Example

// {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} △ {2, 4, 6} = {1, 3, 5, 6}
getSymmetricDifference(new Set([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]), new Set([2, 4, 6])); // new Set([1, 3, 5, 6])
