Example 1: how to get duplicate values from array in javascript

let a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 2, 4, 1, 5, 6]
let b = [...new Set(a.sort().filter((o, i) => o !== undefined && a[i + 1] !== undefined && o === a[i + 1]))]

// b is now [1, 2, 4]

Example 2: javascript get duplicates in array

function getDuplicateArrayElements(arr){
    var sorted_arr = arr.slice().sort();
    var results = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < sorted_arr.length - 1; i++) {
        if (sorted_arr[i + 1] === sorted_arr[i]) {
            results.push(sorted_arr[i]);
        }
    }
    return results;
}

var colors = ["red","orange","blue","green","red","blue"];
var duplicateColors= getDuplicateArrayElements(colors);//["blue", "red"]
