``javascript
array.difference(x, y, [fc], [fm]);
// x: an array
// y: another array
// fc: compare function (a, b)
// fm: map function (v, i, x)
`
> :stopwatch: Compare function => O(n²).

`javascript
const array = require("extra-array");

var x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
var y = [2, 4];

// [ 1, 3, 5 ]

var y = [-2, -4];

// [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]

array.difference(x, y, (a, b) => Math.abs(a) - Math.abs(b));
// [ 1, 3, 5 ]

array.difference(x, y, null, v => Math.abs(v));
// [ 1, 3, 5 ]
