## Description
<section id='description'>
Given two <a href="https://rosettacode.org/wiki/set" target="_blank">set</a>s <i>A</i> and <i>B</i>, compute $(A \setminus B) \cup (B \setminus A).$
That is, enumerate the items that are in <i>A</i> or <i>B</i> but not both. This set is called the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric difference" target="_blank">symmetric difference</a> of <i>A</i> and <i>B</i>.
In other words: $(A \cup B) \setminus (A \cap B)$ (the set of items that are in at least one of <i>A</i> or <i>B</i> minus the set of items that are in both <i>A</i> and <i>B</i>).
</section>
## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Write a function that takes two arrays as parameters and returns the symmetric difference. Sort the resultant array before returning it.
</section>
## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: <code>symmetricDifference</code> should be a function.
testString: assert(typeof symmetricDifference == 'function');
- text: <code>symmetricDifference(["John", "Bob", "Mary", "Serena"], ["Jim", "Mary", "John", "Bob"])</code> should return an array.
testString: assert(Array.isArray(symmetricDifference(["John", "Bob", "Mary", "Serena"], ["Jim", "Mary", "John", "Bob"])));
- text: <code>symmetricDifference(["John", "Bob", "Mary", "Serena"], ["Jim", "Mary", "John", "Bob"])</code> should return <code>["Jim", "Serena"]</code>.
testString: assert.deepEqual(symmetricDifference(["John", "Bob", "Mary", "Serena"], ["Jim", "Mary", "John", "Bob"]), ["Jim", "Serena"]);
- text: <code>symmetricDifference([1, 2, 3], [3, 4])</code> should return <code>[1, 2, 4]</code>.
testString: assert.deepEqual(symmetricDifference([1, 2, 3], [3, 4]), [1, 2, 4]);
- text: <code>symmetricDifference([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [3, 4, 8, 7])</code> should return <code>[1, 2, 5, 7, 8]</code>.
testString: assert.deepEqual(symmetricDifference([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [3, 4, 8, 7]), [1, 2, 5, 7, 8]);
- text: <code>symmetricDifference([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], [1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])</code> should return <code>[2, 4, 9]</code>.
testString: assert.deepEqual(symmetricDifference([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], [1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]), [2, 4, 9]);
- text: <code>symmetricDifference([1, 2, 4, 7, 9], [2, 3, 7, 8, 9])</code> should return <code>[1, 3, 4, 8]</code>.
testString: assert.deepEqual(symmetricDifference([1, 2, 4, 7, 9], [2, 3, 7, 8, 9]), [1, 3, 4, 8]);

}
```

## Solution
<section id='solution'>
```js
function symmetricDifference(A, B) {
function relative_complement(A, B) {
return A.filter(function(elem) {
return B.indexOf(elem) == -1;
});
}
function unique(ary) {
var u = ary.concat().sort();
for (var i = 1; i < u.length; ) {
if (u[i - 1] === u[i]) u.splice(i, 1);
else i++;
}
return u;
}
return unique(
relative_complement(A, B).concat(relative_complement(B, A))
).sort();
}
