javascript array group duplicates code example

Example 1: javascript remove duplicate in arrays

// 1. filter()
function removeDuplicates(array) {
  return array.filter((a, b) => array.indexOf(a) === b)
};
// 2. forEach()
function removeDuplicates(array) {
  let x = {};
  array.forEach(function(i) {
    if(!x[i]) {
      x[i] = true
    }
  })
  return Object.keys(x)
};
// 3. Set
function removeDuplicates(array) {
  array.splice(0, array.length, ...(new Set(array)))
};
// 4. map()
function removeDuplicates(array) {
  let a = []
  array.map(x => 
    if(!a.includes(x) {
      a.push(x)
    })
  return a
};

Example 2: javascript find duplicate in array

// JavaScript - finds if there is duplicate in an array. 
// Returns True or False.

const isThereADuplicate = function(arrayOfNumbers) {
    // Create an empty associative array or hash. 
    // This is preferred,
    let counts = {};
    // // but this also works. Comment in below and comment out above if you want to try.
    // let counts = [];

    for(var i = 0; i <= arrayOfNumbers.length; i++) {
        // As the arrayOfNumbers is being iterated through,
        // the counts hash is being populated.
        // Each value in the array becomes a key in the hash. 
        // The value assignment of 1, is there to complete the hash structure.
        // Once the key exists, meaning there is a duplicate, return true.
        // If there are no duplicates, the if block completes and returns false.
        if(counts[arrayOfNumbers[i]] === undefined) {
            counts[arrayOfNumbers[i]] = 1;
        } else {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
