我创建了一个时间复杂度为o(n)的高阶函数。另外，像map这样的功能可以返回您想要的任何类型。

extension Sequence {
    func distinct<T,U>(_ provider: (Element) -> (U, T)) -> [T] where U: Hashable {
        var uniqueKeys = Set<U>()
        var distintValues = [T]()
        for object in self {
            let transformed = provider(object)
            if !uniqueKeys.contains(transformed.0) {
                distintValues.append(transformed.1)
                uniqueKeys.insert(transformed.0)
            }
        }
        return distintValues
    }
}

斯威夫特4. x:

extension Sequence where Iterator.Element: Hashable {
  func unique() -> [Iterator.Element] {
    return Array(Set<Iterator.Element>(self))
  }

  func uniqueOrdered() -> [Iterator.Element] {
    return reduce([Iterator.Element]()) { $0.contains($1) ? $0 : $0 + [$1] }
  }
}

用法:

["Ljubljana", "London", "Los Angeles", "Ljubljana"].unique()

or

["Ljubljana", "London", "Los Angeles", "Ljubljana"].uniqueOrdered()

您可以直接使用set集合删除重复，然后将其转换回数组

var myArray = [1, 4, 2, 2, 6, 24, 15, 2, 60, 15, 6]
var mySet = Set<Int>(myArray)

myArray = Array(mySet) // [2, 4, 60, 6, 15, 24, 1]

然后你可以按你想要的顺序排列你的数组

myArray.sort{$0 < $1} // [1, 2, 4, 6, 15, 24, 60]

你可以自己卷，比如这样:

func unique<S : Sequence, T : Hashable>(source: S) -> [T] where S.Iterator.Element == T {
    var buffer = [T]()
    var added = Set<T>()
    for elem in source {
        if !added.contains(elem) {
            buffer.append(elem)
            added.insert(elem)
        }
    }
    return buffer
}

let vals = [1, 4, 2, 2, 6, 24, 15, 2, 60, 15, 6]
let uniqueVals = uniq(vals) // [1, 4, 2, 6, 24, 15, 60]

作为Array的扩展:

extension Array where Element: Hashable {
    func uniqued() -> Array {
        var buffer = Array()
        var added = Set<Element>()
        for elem in self {
            if !added.contains(elem) {
                buffer.append(elem)
                added.insert(elem)
            }
        }
        return buffer
    }
}

或者更优雅一点(Swift 4/5):

extension Sequence where Element: Hashable {
    func uniqued() -> [Element] {
        var set = Set<Element>()
        return filter { set.insert($0).inserted }
    }
}

将被使用:

[1,2,4,2,1].uniqued()  // => [1,2,4]

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))

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")
