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)

这里我对对象做了O(n)解。不是少行解决方案，而是……

struct DistinctWrapper <T>: Hashable {
    var underlyingObject: T
    var distinctAttribute: String
    var hashValue: Int {
        return distinctAttribute.hashValue
    }
}
func distinct<S : SequenceType, T where S.Generator.Element == T>(source: S,
                                                                distinctAttribute: (T) -> String,
                                                                resolution: (T, T) -> T) -> [T] {
    let wrappers: [DistinctWrapper<T>] = source.map({
        return DistinctWrapper(underlyingObject: $0, distinctAttribute: distinctAttribute($0))
    })
    var added = Set<DistinctWrapper<T>>()
    for wrapper in wrappers {
        if let indexOfExisting = added.indexOf(wrapper) {
            let old = added[indexOfExisting]
            let winner = resolution(old.underlyingObject, wrapper.underlyingObject)
            added.insert(DistinctWrapper(underlyingObject: winner, distinctAttribute: distinctAttribute(winner)))
        } else {
            added.insert(wrapper)
        }
    }
    return Array(added).map( { return $0.underlyingObject } )
}
func == <T>(lhs: DistinctWrapper<T>, rhs: DistinctWrapper<T>) -> Bool {
    return lhs.hashValue == rhs.hashValue
}

// tests
// case : perhaps we want to get distinct addressbook list which may contain duplicated contacts like Irma and Irma Burgess with same phone numbers
// solution : definitely we want to exclude Irma and keep Irma Burgess
class Person {
    var name: String
    var phoneNumber: String
    init(_ name: String, _ phoneNumber: String) {
        self.name = name
        self.phoneNumber = phoneNumber
    }
}

let persons: [Person] = [Person("Irma Burgess", "11-22-33"), Person("Lester Davidson", "44-66-22"), Person("Irma", "11-22-33")]
let distinctPersons = distinct(persons,
    distinctAttribute: { (person: Person) -> String in
        return person.phoneNumber
    },
    resolution:
    { (p1, p2) -> Person in
        return p1.name.characters.count > p2.name.characters.count ? p1 : p2
    }
)
// distinctPersons contains ("Irma Burgess", "11-22-33") and ("Lester Davidson", "44-66-22")

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
    }
}

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。

我使用了@Jean-Philippe Pellet的答案，并做了一个数组扩展，对数组进行类似set的操作，同时保持元素的顺序。

/// Extensions for performing set-like operations on lists, maintaining order
extension Array where Element: Hashable {
  func unique() -> [Element] {
    var seen: [Element:Bool] = [:]
    return self.filter({ seen.updateValue(true, forKey: $0) == nil })
  }

  func subtract(takeAway: [Element]) -> [Element] {
    let set = Set(takeAway)
    return self.filter({ !set.contains($0) })
  }

  func intersect(with: [Element]) -> [Element] {
    let set = Set(with)
    return self.filter({ set.contains($0) })
  }
}

Daniel Krom的Swift 2答案的更简洁的语法版本，使用了一个尾随闭包和简写参数名，这似乎是基于Airspeed Velocity的原始答案:

func uniq<S: SequenceType, E: Hashable where E == S.Generator.Element>(source: S) -> [E] {
  var seen = [E: Bool]()
  return source.filter { seen.updateValue(true, forKey: $0) == nil }
}

实现一个可以与uniq(_:)一起使用的自定义类型的示例(必须符合Hashable，因此符合Equatable，因为Hashable扩展了Equatable):

func ==(lhs: SomeCustomType, rhs: SomeCustomType) -> Bool {
  return lhs.id == rhs.id // && lhs.someOtherEquatableProperty == rhs.someOtherEquatableProperty
}

struct SomeCustomType {

  let id: Int

  // ...

}

extension SomeCustomType: Hashable {

  var hashValue: Int {
    return id
  }

}

在上面的代码中…

在==重载中使用的id可以是任何Equatable类型(或返回Equatable类型的方法，例如someMethodThatReturnsAnEquatableType())。注释掉的代码演示了扩展相等性检查，其中someOtherEquatableProperty是Equatable类型的另一个属性(但也可以是返回Equatable类型的方法)。

在hashValue计算属性中使用的id(必须符合Hashable)可以是任何Hashable(因此是Equatable)属性(或返回Hashable类型的方法)。

使用uniq(_:)的示例:

var someCustomTypes = [SomeCustomType(id: 1), SomeCustomType(id: 2), SomeCustomType(id: 3), SomeCustomType(id: 1)]

print(someCustomTypes.count) // 4

someCustomTypes = uniq(someCustomTypes)

print(someCustomTypes.count) // 3
