现在不需要写扩展了。

Apple终于在其算法包中引入了unique()方法，可以在符合Sequence协议的任何类型上使用。

import Algorithms

let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1]
print(numbers.uniqued()) // prints [1, 2, 3]

在数组中保留唯一值和排序。

(使用Swift 3)

    var top3score: [Int] = []


    outerLoop: for i in 0..<top10score.count {
        dlog(message: String(top10score[i]))

        if top3score.count == 3 {
            break
        }

        for aTop3score in top3score {
            if aTop3score == top10score[i] {
                continue outerLoop
            }
        }

        top3score.append(top10score[i])

    }

    print("top10score is \(top10score)")  //[14, 5, 5, 5, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2]
    print("top3score is \(top3score)")   //[14, 5, 3]

这是swift 4.2中最简单的方法，如下所示的代码

let keyarray:NSMutableArray = NSMutableArray()

for  object in dataArr
{
    if !keysArray.contains(object){
        keysArray.add(object)
    }
}

print(keysArray)

为此，我做了一个尽可能简单的扩展。

extension Array where Element: Equatable {

    func containsHowMany(_ elem: Element) -> Int {
        return reduce(0) { $1 == elem ? $0 + 1 : $0 }
    }

    func duplicatesRemoved() -> Array {
        return self.filter { self.containsHowMany($0) == 1 }
    }

    mutating func removeDuplicates() {
        self = self.duplicatesRemoved(()
    }
}

您可以使用duplicatesRemoved()来获取一个新数组，它的重复元素将被删除，或者使用removeduplicate()来改变自身。看到的:

let arr = [1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 8]

let noDuplicates = arr.duplicatesRemoved()
print(arr) // [1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 8]
print(noDuplicates) // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

arr.removeDuplicates()
print(arr) // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

让我提出一个类似于斯科特·加德纳的答案，但使用了更简洁的reduce语法。 此解决方案从自定义对象数组中删除重复项(保持初始顺序)

// Custom Struct. Can be also class. 
// Need to be `equitable` in order to use `contains` method below
struct CustomStruct : Equatable {
      let name: String
      let lastName : String
    }

// conform to Equatable protocol. feel free to change the logic of "equality"
func ==(lhs: CustomStruct, rhs: CustomStruct) -> Bool {
  return (lhs.name == rhs.name && lhs.lastName == rhs.lastName)
}

let categories = [CustomStruct(name: "name1", lastName: "lastName1"),
                  CustomStruct(name: "name2", lastName: "lastName1"),
                  CustomStruct(name: "name1", lastName: "lastName1")]
print(categories.count) // prints 3

// remove duplicates (and keep initial order of elements)
let uniq1 : [CustomStruct] = categories.reduce([]) { $0.contains($1) ? $0 : $0 + [$1] }
print(uniq1.count) // prints 2 - third element has removed

如果你想知道这个约简魔法是如何工作的，这里是完全相同的，只是使用了更扩展的约简语法

let uniq2 : [CustomStruct] = categories.reduce([]) { (result, category) in
  var newResult = result
  if (newResult.contains(category)) {}
  else {
    newResult.append(category)
  }
  return newResult
}
uniq2.count // prints 2 - third element has removed

你可以简单地复制粘贴这段代码到Swift Playground中。

使用Set或NSOrderedSet删除重复项，然后转换回数组:

let uniqueUnordered = Array(Set(array))
let uniqueOrdered = Array(NSOrderedSet(array: array))
