包含相等性检查，而插入检查哈希，最安全的检查方式如下:

extension Array where Element: Hashable {

    /// Big O(N) version. Updated since @Adrian's comment. 
    var uniques: Array {
        // Go front to back, add element to buffer if it isn't a repeat.
         var buffer: [Element] = []
         var dictionary: [Element: Int] = [:]
         for element in self where dictionary[element] == nil {
             buffer.append(element)
             dictionary[element] = 1
         }
         return buffer
    }
}

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

Daniel Krom的Swift 2答案的更简洁的语法版本，使用了一个尾随闭包和简写参数名，这似乎是基于Airspeed Velocity的原始答案:

func uniq<S: SequenceType, E: Hashable where E == S.Generator.Element>(source: S) -> [E] {
  var seen = [E: Bool]()
  return source.filter { seen.updateValue(true, forKey: $0) == nil }
}

实现一个可以与uniq(_:)一起使用的自定义类型的示例(必须符合Hashable，因此符合Equatable，因为Hashable扩展了Equatable):

func ==(lhs: SomeCustomType, rhs: SomeCustomType) -> Bool {
  return lhs.id == rhs.id // && lhs.someOtherEquatableProperty == rhs.someOtherEquatableProperty
}

struct SomeCustomType {

  let id: Int

  // ...

}

extension SomeCustomType: Hashable {

  var hashValue: Int {
    return id
  }

}

在上面的代码中…

在==重载中使用的id可以是任何Equatable类型(或返回Equatable类型的方法，例如someMethodThatReturnsAnEquatableType())。注释掉的代码演示了扩展相等性检查，其中someOtherEquatableProperty是Equatable类型的另一个属性(但也可以是返回Equatable类型的方法)。

在hashValue计算属性中使用的id(必须符合Hashable)可以是任何Hashable(因此是Equatable)属性(或返回Hashable类型的方法)。

使用uniq(_:)的示例:

var someCustomTypes = [SomeCustomType(id: 1), SomeCustomType(id: 2), SomeCustomType(id: 3), SomeCustomType(id: 1)]

print(someCustomTypes.count) // 4

someCustomTypes = uniq(someCustomTypes)

print(someCustomTypes.count) // 3

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)

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")

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
    }
}
