Given a Array, create a derived Array containing only the unique elements
Java
//Using Java 1.5/5.0 Object[] data = new Object[] {1, 2, 3, "a", "b", "c", 2, 3, 4, "b", "c", "d"}; Set uniqueSet = new HashSet(Arrays.asList(data)); Object[] unique = uniqueSet.toArray();
Perl
Interpeter: Perl
my %hash; my @list = (1, 2, 3, 'a', 'b', 'c', 2, 3, 4, 'b', 'c', 'd'); @hash{@list} = 1; # the keys of %hash now contain the unique list
Python
data = [1, 2, 3, 'a', 'b', 'c', 2, 3, 4, 'b', 'c', 'd']
Using sets
unique = list(set(data))

Ruby
ary = [1,1,2,1,'redundant',[1,2,3],[1,2,3],'redundant'] uniq_ary = ary.uniq # => [1, 2, "redundant", [1, 2, 3]]
