我相信提供一个uniq()和uniqInPlace()函数通过删除数组的值来改变数组是很好的。这类似于Swift提供的sort()和sortInPlace()函数。此外，由于它是一个数组，它应该保持它的原始元素顺序。

extension Array where Element: Equatable {

    public func uniq() -> [Element] {
        var arrayCopy = self
        arrayCopy.uniqInPlace()
        return arrayCopy
    }

    mutating public func uniqInPlace() {
        var seen = [Element]()
        var index = 0
        for element in self {
            if seen.contains(element) {
                removeAtIndex(index)
            } else {
                seen.append(element)
                index++
            }
        }
    }
}

你只能在变量数组(即var)上使用uniqInPlace()，因为你不能改变常量数组(即let)。

一些用法示例:

var numbers = [1, 6, 2, 2, 4, 1, 5]
numbers.uniqInPlace() // array is now [1, 6, 2, 4, 5]

let strings = ["Y", "Z", "A", "Y", "B", "Y", "Z"]
let uniqStrings = strings.uniq() // uniqStrings is now ["Y", "Z", "A", "B"]

如果你把两个扩展都放在你的代码中，更快的Hashable版本将在可能的情况下使用，Equatable版本将用作备用版本。

public extension Sequence where Element: Hashable {
  /// The elements of the sequence, with duplicates removed.
  /// - Note: Has equivalent elements to `Set(self)`.
  @available(
  swift, deprecated: 5.4,
  message: "Doesn't compile without the constant in Swift 5.3."
  )
  var firstUniqueElements: [Element] {
    let getSelf: (Element) -> Element = \.self
    return firstUniqueElements(getSelf)
  }
}

public extension Sequence where Element: Equatable {
  /// The elements of the sequence, with duplicates removed.
  /// - Note: Has equivalent elements to `Set(self)`.
  @available(
  swift, deprecated: 5.4,
  message: "Doesn't compile without the constant in Swift 5.3."
  )
  var firstUniqueElements: [Element] {
    let getSelf: (Element) -> Element = \.self
    return firstUniqueElements(getSelf)
  }
}

public extension Sequence {
  /// The elements of the sequences, with "duplicates" removed
  /// based on a closure.
  func firstUniqueElements<Hashable: Swift.Hashable>(
    _ getHashable: (Element) -> Hashable
  ) -> [Element] {
    var set: Set<Hashable> = []
    return filter { set.insert(getHashable($0)).inserted }
  }

  /// The elements of the sequence, with "duplicates" removed,
  /// based on a closure.
  func firstUniqueElements<Equatable: Swift.Equatable>(
    _ getEquatable: (Element) -> Equatable
  ) -> [Element] {
    reduce(into: []) { uniqueElements, element in
      if zip(
        uniqueElements.lazy.map(getEquatable),
        AnyIterator { [equatable = getEquatable(element)] in equatable }
      ).allSatisfy(!=) {
        uniqueElements.append(element)
      }
    }
  }
}

如果顺序不重要，那么你总是可以使用这个Set初始化式。

这在Swift 4中是有效的，如果你不想/需要将结果转换为数组，但可以使用Set。默认情况下，结果没有排序，但是可以使用sorted()这样做，它返回一个数组，如print语句所示。

let array = [1, 4, 2, 2, 6, 24, 15, 2, 60, 15, 6]

var result = Set<Int>()
_ = array.map{ result.insert($0) }

print(result.sorted())  // [1, 2, 4, 6, 15, 24, 60]

你可以很容易地转换为一个Set和一个数组:

let unique = Array(Set(originals))

这并不能保证保持数组的原始顺序。

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]

    func removingDuplicates() -> Array {
        return reduce(into: []) { result, element in
            if !result.contains(element) {
                result.append(element)
            }
        }
