--description--

Compare two arrays and return a new array with any items only found in one of the two given arrays, but not both. In other words, return the symmetric difference of the two arrays.

Note: You can return the array with its elements in any order.

--hints--

diffArray([1, 2, 3, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) should return an array.

assert(typeof diffArray([1, 2, 3, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) === 'object');

["diorite", "andesite", "grass", "dirt", "pink wool", "dead shrub"], ["diorite", "andesite", "grass", "dirt", "dead shrub"] should return ["pink wool"].

diffArray(
['diorite', 'andesite', 'grass', 'dirt', 'pink wool', 'dead shrub'],

["diorite", "andesite", "grass", "dirt", "pink wool", "dead shrub"], ["diorite", "andesite", "grass", "dirt", "dead shrub"] should return an array with one item.

["andesite", "grass", "dirt", "pink wool", "dead shrub"], ["diorite", "andesite", "grass", "dirt", "dead shrub"] should return an array with two items.

["andesite", "grass", "dirt", "dead shrub"], ["andesite", "grass", "dirt", "dead shrub"] should return [].

assert.sameMembers(

["andesite", "grass", "dirt", "dead shrub"], ["andesite", "grass", "dirt", "dead shrub"] should return an empty array.

[1, 2, 3, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] should return an array with one item.

[1, "calf", 3, "piglet"], [1, "calf", 3, 4] should return ["piglet", 4].

assert.sameMembers(diffArray([1, 'calf', 3, 'piglet'], [1, 'calf', 3, 4]), [
'piglet',
4

[1, "calf", 3, "piglet"], [1, "calf", 3, 4] should return an array with two items.

assert(diffArray([1, 'calf', 3, 'piglet'], [1, 'calf', 3, 4]).length === 2);

[], ["snuffleupagus", "cookie monster", "elmo"] should return ["snuffleupagus", "cookie monster", "elmo"].

assert.sameMembers(diffArray([], ['snuffleupagus', 'cookie monster', 'elmo']), [

[], ["snuffleupagus", "cookie monster", "elmo"] should return an array with three items.

assert(diffArray([], ['snuffleupagus', 'cookie monster', 'elmo']).length === 3);

[1, "calf", 3, "piglet"], [7, "filly"] should return [1, "calf", 3, "piglet", 7, "filly"].

assert.sameMembers(diffArray([1, 'calf', 3, 'piglet'], [7, 'filly']), [
1,
'calf',

[1, "calf", 3, "piglet"], [7, "filly"] should return an array with six items.
