const findElementThatAppearsOnceInArray = (arr) => {
    const map = new Map();
 
    for (const x of arr) {
        map.set(x, (map.get(x) || 0) + 1);
    }
 
    for (const [key, value] of map) {
        if (value === 1) {
            return key;
        }
    }
 
    return -1;
};
 
const arr = [3, 6, 6, 2, 7, 3, 2, 8, 9, 8, 3, 2, 7, 8];
 
console.log(findElementThatAppearsOnceInArray(arr));
 
 
 
/*
run:
 
9
 
*/
