Created methods that calculate the left-difference between 2 arrays. For
example for {1, 2, 3, 4}-{1, 6, 8, 3}={2, 4}.
These methods could be useful in several scenarios:
1--Data Analysis: When dealing with large datasets, you may need to compare
two arrays of data to identify the differences between them. This method can
help you find the elements that exist in one dataset but not in the other,
enabling you to analyze the discrepancies and make informed decisions based on
the results.
2--Database Operations: In database operations, you might have two arrays
representing different sets of data, such as database records or query results.
By using this method, you can identify the elements that are present in one
array but missing in the other, helping you detect anomalies, perform data
synchronization, or handle data migrations effectively.
3--Set Operations: The method can be used to perform set operations, such as
finding the relative complement of two sets. It helps you determine the
elements that belong to the first set but not to the second set, providing you
with a new array containing the unique elements.
4--Filtering: In some cases, you may have a large dataset and want to filter
out specific elements based on a comparison with another dataset. This method
can help you identify and extract the elements that are present in the first
array but not in the second, allowing you to create a new filtered array.
