对于元素既不是哈希也不是可比的数组(例如复杂对象，字典或结构)，这个扩展提供了一种通用的方法来删除重复:

extension Array
{
   func filterDuplicate<T:Hashable>(_ keyValue:(Element)->T) -> [Element]
   {
      var uniqueKeys = Set<T>()
      return filter{uniqueKeys.insert(keyValue($0)).inserted}
   }

   func filterDuplicate<T>(_ keyValue:(Element)->T) -> [Element]
   { 
      return filterDuplicate{"\(keyValue($0))"}
   }
}

// example usage: (for a unique combination of attributes):

peopleArray = peopleArray.filterDuplicate{ ($0.name, $0.age, $0.sex) }

or...

peopleArray = peopleArray.filterDuplicate{ "\(($0.name, $0.age, $0.sex))" }

您不必为使值可哈希而烦恼，它允许您使用不同的字段组合来实现惟一性。

Swift 4的替代方案

在Swift 4.2中，你可以更容易地使用hash类来构建散列。上面的扩展可以改变，以利用这一点:

extension Array
{
    func filterDuplicate(_ keyValue:((AnyHashable...)->AnyHashable,Element)->AnyHashable) -> [Element]
    {
        func makeHash(_ params:AnyHashable ...) -> AnyHashable
        { 
           var hash = Hasher()
           params.forEach{ hash.combine($0) }
           return hash.finalize()
        }  
        var uniqueKeys = Set<AnyHashable>()
        return filter{uniqueKeys.insert(keyValue(makeHash,$0)).inserted}     
    }
}

调用语法略有不同，因为闭包接收了一个额外的参数，其中包含一个函数，用于散列可变数量的值(这些值必须是单独可散列的)

peopleArray = peopleArray.filterDuplicate{ $0($1.name, $1.age, $1.sex) } 

它也可以使用单一唯一性值(使用$1而忽略$0)。

peopleArray = peopleArray.filterDuplicate{ $1.name } 

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")

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]

从数组中删除重复项的简单方法

extension Array where Element: Equatable {
mutating func removeDuplicates() {
    var result = [Element]()
    for value in self {
        if !result.contains(value) {
            result.append(value)
        }
    }
    self = result
}}

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。

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))
