最简单的方法是使用NSOrderedSet，它存储唯一的元素并保持元素的顺序。如:

func removeDuplicates(from items: [Int]) -> [Int] {
    let uniqueItems = NSOrderedSet(array: items)
    return (uniqueItems.array as? [Int]) ?? []
}

let arr = [1, 4, 2, 2, 6, 24, 15, 2, 60, 15, 6]
removeDuplicates(from: arr)

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。

下面是SequenceType上的一个类别，它保留了数组的原始顺序，但使用Set来进行contains查找，以避免数组的contains(_:)方法上的O(n)代价。

public extension Sequence where Element: Hashable {

    /// Return the sequence with all duplicates removed.
    ///
    /// i.e. `[ 1, 2, 3, 1, 2 ].uniqued() == [ 1, 2, 3 ]`
    ///
    /// - note: Taken from stackoverflow.com/a/46354989/3141234, as 
    ///         per @Alexander's comment.
    func uniqued() -> [Element] {
        var seen = Set<Element>()
        return self.filter { seen.insert($0).inserted }
    }
}

如果你不是Hashable或Equatable，你可以传入一个谓词来进行相等性检查:

extension Sequence {

    /// Return the sequence with all duplicates removed.
    ///
    /// Duplicate, in this case, is defined as returning `true` from `comparator`.
    ///
    /// - note: Taken from stackoverflow.com/a/46354989/3141234
    func uniqued(comparator: @escaping (Element, Element) throws -> Bool) rethrows -> [Element] {
        var buffer: [Element] = []

        for element in self {
            // If element is already in buffer, skip to the next element
            if try buffer.contains(where: { try comparator(element, $0) }) {
                continue
            }

            buffer.append(element)
        }

        return buffer
    }
}

现在，如果你没有Hashable，但是是Equatable，你可以使用这个方法:

extension Sequence where Element: Equatable {

    /// Return the sequence with all duplicates removed.
    ///
    /// i.e. `[ 1, 2, 3, 1, 2 ].uniqued() == [ 1, 2, 3 ]`
    ///
    /// - note: Taken from stackoverflow.com/a/46354989/3141234
    func uniqued() -> [Element] {
        return self.uniqued(comparator: ==)
    }
}

最后，你可以添加一个unique的关键路径版本，如下所示:

extension Sequence {

    /// Returns the sequence with duplicate elements removed, performing the comparison using the property at
    /// the supplied keypath.
    ///
    /// i.e.
    ///
    /// ```
    /// [
    ///   MyStruct(value: "Hello"),
    ///   MyStruct(value: "Hello"),
    ///   MyStruct(value: "World")
    ///  ].uniqued(\.value)
    /// ```
    /// would result in
    ///
    /// ```
    /// [
    ///   MyStruct(value: "Hello"),
    ///   MyStruct(value: "World")
    /// ]
    /// ```
    ///
    /// - note: Taken from stackoverflow.com/a/46354989/3141234
    ///
    func uniqued<T: Equatable>(_ keyPath: KeyPath<Element, T>) -> [Element] {
        self.uniqued { $0[keyPath: keyPath] == $1[keyPath: keyPath] }
    }
}

你可以把这两个都放在你的应用程序中，Swift会根据你的序列的迭代器选择正确的一个。元素类型。

对于El Capitan，您可以扩展此方法以包括多个键盘，如下所示:

    /// Returns the sequence with duplicate elements removed, performing the comparison using the property at
    /// the supplied keypaths.
    ///
    /// i.e.
    ///
    /// ```
    /// [
    ///   MyStruct(value1: "Hello", value2: "Paula"),
    ///   MyStruct(value1: "Hello", value2: "Paula"),
    ///   MyStruct(value1: "Hello", value2: "Bean"),
    ///   MyStruct(value1: "World", value2: "Sigh")
    ///  ].uniqued(\.value1, \.value2)
    /// ```
    /// would result in
    ///
    /// ```
    /// [
    ///   MyStruct(value1: "Hello", value2: "Paula"),
    ///   MyStruct(value1: "Hello", value2: "Bean"),
    ///   MyStruct(value1: "World", value2: "Sigh")
    /// ]
    /// ```
    ///
    /// - note: Taken from stackoverflow.com/a/46354989/3141234
    ///
    func uniqued<T: Equatable, U: Equatable>(_ keyPath1: KeyPath<Element, T>, _ keyPath2: KeyPath<Element, U>) -> [Element] {
        self.uniqued {
            $0[keyPath: keyPath1] == $1[keyPath: keyPath1] && $0[keyPath: keyPath2] == $1[keyPath: keyPath2]
        }
    }

但是(恕我直言)你最好把你自己的block传递给self.unique。

func removeDublicate (ab: [Int]) -> [Int] {
var answer1:[Int] = []
for i in ab {
    if !answer1.contains(i) {
        answer1.append(i)
    }}
return answer1
}

用法:

let f = removeDublicate(ab: [1,2,2])
print(f)

下面是使用自定义匹配函数使序列唯一的更灵活的方法。

extension Sequence where Iterator.Element: Hashable {

    func unique(matching: (Iterator.Element, Iterator.Element) -> Bool) -> [Iterator.Element] {

        var uniqueArray: [Iterator.Element] = []
        forEach { element in
            let isUnique = uniqueArray.reduce(true, { (result, item) -> Bool in
                return result && matching(element, item)
            })
            if isUnique {
                uniqueArray.append(element)
            }
        }
        return uniqueArray
    }
}

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]
