I have actually found the comm command to be more useful for learning similarities and differences in files.

SYNOPSIS
comm [-123] file1 file2

OPTIONS
The following options are supported:

 -1       Suppresses the output column  of  lines  unique  to
          file1.

 -2       Suppresses the output column  of  lines  unique  to
          file2.

 -3       Suppresses the output column of lines duplicated in
          file1 and file2.
