Merge and remove duplicates in JavaScript Array

Suppose, we have two arrays of literals like these −

const arr1 = [2, 4, 5, 3, 7, 8, 9];
const arr2 = [1, 4, 5, 2, 3, 7, 6];

We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in two such arrays and returns a new array with all the duplicates removed (should appear only once).

Example

The code for this will be −

const arr1 = [2, 4, 5, 3, 7, 8, 9];
const arr2 = [1, 4, 5, 2, 3, 7, 6];
const mergeArrays = (first, second) => {
   const { length: l1 } = first;
   const { length: l2 } = second;
   const res = [];
   let temp = 0;
   for(let i = 0; i < l1+l2; i++){
      if(i >= l1){
         temp = i - l1;
         if(!res.includes(first[temp])){
            res.push(first[temp]);
         };
      }else{
         temp = i;
         if(!res.includes(second[temp])){
            res.push(second[temp]);
         };
      };
   };
   return res;
};
console.log(mergeArrays(arr1, arr2));

Output

The output in the console −

[
   1, 4, 5, 2, 3,
   7, 6, 8, 9
]
