API

intersect(a, b)

Find the intersection of arrays a and b. The individual arrays are expected to be sets, i.e. there's no duplicate elements in them.

intersect(arrays)

You can also pass an array of arrays as a single argument, to get the intersection of n arrays.

intersect.big(a, b)

This module contains an alternative intersection algorithm by @minuteman3, better suited for intersecting big arrays.
