title: "Challenge 117: Symmetric Difference"
challengeType: 29
dashedName: challenge-117

# --description--
Given two arrays, return a new array containing the symmetric difference of them.
- The symmetric difference between two sets is the set of values that appear in either set, but not both.
- Return the values in the order they first appear in the input arrays.
# --hints--
`difference([1, 2, 3], [3, 4, 5])` should return `[1, 2, 4, 5]`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(difference([1, 2, 3], [3, 4, 5]), [1, 2, 4, 5])`)
}})
```
`difference(["a", "b"], ["c", "b"])` should return `["a", "c"]`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(difference(["a", "b"], ["c", "b"]), ["a", "c"])`)
}})
```
`difference([1, "a", 2], [2, "b", "a"])` should return `[1, "b"]`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(difference([1, "a", 2], [2, "b", "a"]), [1, "b"])`)
}})
```
`difference([1, 3, 5, 7, 9], [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])` should return `[2, 4, 6, 8]`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(difference([1, 3, 5, 7, 9], [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]), [2, 4, 6, 8])`)
}})
```
