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]

首先将数组的所有元素添加到NSOrderedSet中。 这将删除数组中的所有重复项。 再次将这个orderedset转换为一个数组。

做……

例子

let array = [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,4,6,8]

let orderedSet : NSOrderedSet = NSOrderedSet(array: array)

let arrayWithoutDuplicates : NSArray = orderedSet.array as NSArray

输出arraywithoutduplates - [1,2,4,6,8]

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。

在Swift 3.0中，我发现了最简单和最快的解决方案，可以在保持顺序的同时消除重复的元素:

extension Array where Element:Hashable {
    var unique: [Element] {
        var set = Set<Element>() //the unique list kept in a Set for fast retrieval
        var arrayOrdered = [Element]() //keeping the unique list of elements but ordered
        for value in self {
            if !set.contains(value) {
                set.insert(value)
                arrayOrdered.append(value)
            }
        }

        return arrayOrdered
    }
}

在Swift 5中

 var array: [String] =  ["Aman", "Sumit", "Aman", "Sumit", "Mohan", "Mohan", "Amit"]

 let uniq = Array(Set(array))
 print(uniq)

输出将是

 ["Sumit", "Mohan", "Amit", "Aman"]

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]
