用uniq函数回答:

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

use:

var test = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,9,9,9,9,9]
print(uniq(test)) //1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

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
    }
}

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。

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。

您总是可以使用Dictionary，因为Dictionary只能保存惟一的值。例如:

var arrayOfDates: NSArray = ["15/04/01","15/04/01","15/04/02","15/04/02","15/04/03","15/04/03","15/04/03"]

var datesOnlyDict = NSMutableDictionary()
var x = Int()

for (x=0;x<(arrayOfDates.count);x++) {
    let date = arrayOfDates[x] as String
    datesOnlyDict.setValue("foo", forKey: date)
}

let uniqueDatesArray: NSArray = datesOnlyDict.allKeys // uniqueDatesArray = ["15/04/01", "15/04/03", "15/04/02"]

println(uniqueDatesArray.count)  // = 3

正如你所看到的，生成的数组并不总是按“顺序”排列。如果你想对数组排序，添加这个:

var sortedArray = sorted(datesOnlyArray) {
(obj1, obj2) in

    let p1 = obj1 as String
    let p2 = obj2 as String
    return p1 < p2
}

println(sortedArray) // = ["15/04/01", "15/04/02", "15/04/03"]

.

我的解决方案，它似乎可以在O(n)时间，因为哈希映射访问是O(1)，过滤器是O(n)。它还使用by闭包来选择按顺序区分元素的属性。

extension Sequence {

    func distinct<T: Hashable>(by: (Element) -> T) -> [Element] {
        var seen: [T: Bool] = [:]
        return self.filter { seen.updateValue(true, forKey: by($0)) == nil }
    }
}
