最好的方法是什么?很难说，HashSet方法看起来很快， 但是(取决于数据)使用排序算法(CountSort ?) 可以快得多。

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Random r = new Random(0); int[] a, b = new int[1000000];
        for (int i = b.Length - 1; i >= 0; i--) b[i] = r.Next(b.Length);
        a = new int[b.Length]; Array.Copy(b, a, b.Length);
        a = dedup0(a); Console.WriteLine(a.Length);
        a = new int[b.Length]; Array.Copy(b, a, b.Length);
        var w = System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch.StartNew();
        a = dedup0(a); Console.WriteLine(w.Elapsed); Console.Read();
    }

    static int[] dedup0(int[] a)  // 48 ms  
    {
        return new HashSet<int>(a).ToArray();
    }

    static int[] dedup1(int[] a)  // 68 ms
    {
        Array.Sort(a); int i = 0, j = 1, k = a.Length; if (k < 2) return a;
        while (j < k) if (a[i] == a[j]) j++; else a[++i] = a[j++];
        Array.Resize(ref a, i + 1); return a;
    }

    static int[] dedup2(int[] a)  //  8 ms
    {
        var b = new byte[a.Length]; int c = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < a.Length; i++) 
            if (b[a[i]] == 0) { b[a[i]] = 1; c++; }
        a = new int[c];
        for (int j = 0, i = 0; i < b.Length; i++) if (b[i] > 0) a[j++] = i;
        return a;
    }
}

几乎没有分支。怎么做?调试模式，步进(F11)与一个小数组:{1,3,1,1,0}

    static int[] dedupf(int[] a)  //  4 ms
    {
        if (a.Length < 2) return a;
        var b = new byte[a.Length]; int c = 0, bi, ai, i, j;
        for (i = 0; i < a.Length; i++)
        { ai = a[i]; bi = 1 ^ b[ai]; b[ai] |= (byte)bi; c += bi; }
        a = new int[c]; i = 0; while (b[i] == 0) i++; a[0] = i++;
        for (j = 0; i < b.Length; i++) a[j += bi = b[i]] += bi * i; return a;
    }

有两个嵌套循环的解决方案可能需要一些时间， 特别是对于较大的数组。

    static int[] dedup(int[] a)
    {
        int i, j, k = a.Length - 1;
        for (i = 0; i < k; i++)
            for (j = i + 1; j <= k; j++) if (a[i] == a[j]) a[j--] = a[k--];
        Array.Resize(ref a, k + 1); return a;
    }

下面这段代码试图从ArrayList中删除重复项，尽管这不是最佳解决方案。在一次面试中，我被问到通过递归删除重复项，而不使用第二个/temp数组列表:

private void RemoveDuplicate() 
{

ArrayList dataArray = new ArrayList(5);

            dataArray.Add("1");
            dataArray.Add("1");
            dataArray.Add("6");
            dataArray.Add("6");
            dataArray.Add("6");
            dataArray.Add("3");
            dataArray.Add("6");
            dataArray.Add("4");
            dataArray.Add("5");
            dataArray.Add("4");
            dataArray.Add("1");

            dataArray.Sort();

            GetDistinctArrayList(dataArray, 0);
}

private void GetDistinctArrayList(ArrayList arr, int idx)

{

            int count = 0;

            if (idx >= arr.Count) return;

            string val = arr[idx].ToString();
            foreach (String s in arr)
            {
                if (s.Equals(arr[idx]))
                {
                    count++;
                }
            }

            if (count > 1)
            {
                arr.Remove(val);
                GetDistinctArrayList(arr, idx);
            }
            else
            {
                idx += 1;
                GetDistinctArrayList(arr, idx);
            }
        }

测试了下面的&它工作。最酷的是，它还做了一个文化敏感搜索

class RemoveDuplicatesInString
{
    public static String RemoveDups(String origString)
    {
        String outString = null;
        int readIndex = 0;
        CompareInfo ci = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.CompareInfo;


        if(String.IsNullOrEmpty(origString))
        {
            return outString;
        }

        foreach (var ch in origString)
        {
            if (readIndex == 0)
            {
                outString = String.Concat(ch);
                readIndex++;
                continue;
            }

            if (ci.IndexOf(origString, ch.ToString().ToLower(), 0, readIndex) == -1)
            {
                //Unique char as this char wasn't found earlier.
                outString = String.Concat(outString, ch);                   
            }

            readIndex++;

        }


        return outString;
    }


    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        String inputString = "aAbcefc";
        String outputString;

        outputString = RemoveDups(inputString);

        Console.WriteLine(outputString);
    }

}

下面是HashSet<string>方法:

public static string[] RemoveDuplicates(string[] s)
{
    HashSet<string> set = new HashSet<string>(s);
    string[] result = new string[set.Count];
    set.CopyTo(result);
    return result;
}

不幸的是，这个解决方案也需要。net框架3.5或更高版本，因为HashSet直到该版本才被添加。你也可以使用array.Distinct()，这是LINQ的一个特性。

简单的解决方案:

using System.Linq;
...

public static int[] Distinct(int[] handles)
{
    return handles.ToList().Distinct().ToArray();
}

  private static string[] distinct(string[] inputArray)
        {
            bool alreadyExists;
            string[] outputArray = new string[] {};

            for (int i = 0; i < inputArray.Length; i++)
            {
                alreadyExists = false;
                for (int j = 0; j < outputArray.Length; j++)
                {
                    if (inputArray[i] == outputArray[j])
                        alreadyExists = true;
                }
                        if (alreadyExists==false)
                        {
                            Array.Resize<string>(ref outputArray, outputArray.Length + 1);
                            outputArray[outputArray.Length-1] = inputArray[i];
                        }
            }
            return outputArray;
        }
