Delete duplicate elements from an array
It's easier using Array.filter
:
var unique = arr.filter(function(elem, index, self) {
return index === self.indexOf(elem);
})
you may try like this using jquery
var arr = [1,2,2,3,4,5,5,5,6,7,7,8,9,10,10];
var uniqueVals = [];
$.each(arr, function(i, el){
if($.inArray(el, uniqueVals) === -1) uniqueVals.push(el);
});
As elements are yet ordered, you don't have to build a map, there's a fast solution :
var newarr = [arr[0]];
for (var i=1; i<arr.length; i++) {
if (arr[i]!=arr[i-1]) newarr.push(arr[i]);
}
If your array weren't sorted, you would use a map :
var newarr = (function(arr){
var m = {}, newarr = []
for (var i=0; i<arr.length; i++) {
var v = arr[i];
if (!m[v]) {
newarr.push(v);
m[v]=true;
}
}
return newarr;
})(arr);
Note that this is, by far, much faster than the accepted answer.
var arr = [1,2,2,3,4,5,5,5,6,7,7,8,9,10,10];
function squash(arr){
var tmp = [];
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
if(tmp.indexOf(arr[i]) == -1){
tmp.push(arr[i]);
}
}
return tmp;
}
console.log(squash(arr));
