Script Preparation code:

var array1 = Array.from({length: 40}, () => Math.floor(Math.random() * 140));
var array2 = Array.from({length: 20}, () => Math.floor(Math.random() * 140));
var setFromArray1 = new Set(array1)
var setFromArray2 = new Set(array2)

Set.difference
const setDiff = setFromArray1.difference(setFromArray2)
Array.filter
const arrayFilter = array1.filter(value => array2.indexOf(value))
Array.filter with Set.has
const arrayFilterWithSetHas = array1.filter(value => setFromArray2.has(value))
