ES6 offers the Set data structure which is basically an array that doesn't accept duplicates. With the Set data structure, there's a very easy way to find duplicates in an array (using only one loop).

Here's my code

function findDuplicate(arr) {
var set = new Set();
var duplicates = new Set();
  for (let i = 0; i< arr.length; i++) {
     var size = set.size;
     set.add(arr[i]);
     if (set.size === size) {
         duplicates.add(arr[i]);
     }
  }
 return duplicates;
}
