localeTitle: Diff Два массива
---

## Description
<section id='description'>
Сравните два массива и верните новый массив с любыми элементами, найденными только в одном из двух заданных массивов, но не обоих. Другими словами, верните симметричную разность двух массивов. Не забудьте использовать <a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org/forum/t/how-to-get-help-when-you-are-stuck-coding/19514" target="_blank">Read-Search-Ask,</a> если вы застряли. Попробуйте подключить программу. Напишите свой собственный код. <strong>Заметка</strong> <br> Вы можете вернуть массив с его элементами в любом порядке.
