Xcode 10.1 - Swift 4.2简单而强大的解决方案

func removeDuplicates(_ nums: inout [Int]) -> Int {
    nums = Set(nums).sorted()
    return nums.count
}

例子

var arr = [1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9]
removeDuplicates(&arr)

print(arr) // [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]

另一种(如果不是最优的)解决方案是使用不可变类型而不是变量:

func deleteDuplicates<S: ExtensibleCollectionType where S.Generator.Element: Equatable>(seq:S)-> S {
    let s = reduce(seq, S()){
        ac, x in contains(ac,x) ? ac : ac + [x]
    }
    return s
}

包括对比Jean-Pillippe的命令式方法和函数式方法。

作为奖励，这个函数不仅可以处理数组，还可以处理字符串!

编辑:这个答案是在2014年为Swift 1.0编写的(在Set在Swift中可用之前)。它不需要Hashable一致性，并且在二次时间内运行。

如果你想保持秩序，那么就用这个

let fruits = ["apple", "pear", "pear", "banana", "apple"] 
let orderedNoDuplicates = Array(NSOrderedSet(array: fruits).map({ $0 as! String }))

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

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 }
    }
}

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。
