js check array for duplicates code example

Example 1: count duplicates array js

uniqueCount = ["a","b","c","d","d","e","a","b","c","f","g","h","h","h","e","a"];
var count = {};
uniqueCount.forEach(function(i) { count[i] = (count[i]||0) + 1;});
console.log(count);

Example 2: how to check for duplicate syntax in javascript

let strArray = [ "q", "w", "w", "w", "e", "i", "u", "r"];
let findDuplicates = arr => arr.filter((item, index) => arr.indexOf(item) != index)

console.log(findDuplicates(strArray)) // All duplicates
console.log([...new Set(findDuplicates(strArray))]) // Unique duplicates

Example 3: how to get duplicate values from array in javascript

let a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 2, 4, 1, 5, 6]
let b = [...new Set(a.sort().filter((o, i) => o !== undefined && a[i + 1] !== undefined && o === a[i + 1]))]

// b is now [1, 2, 4]

Example 4: find duplicate values in array javascript

const findDuplicates = (arr) => {
  let sorted_arr = arr.slice().sort(); // You can define the comparing function here. 
  // JS by default uses a crappy string compare.
  // (we use slice to clone the array so the
  // original array won't be modified)
  let results = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < sorted_arr.length - 1; i++) {
    if (sorted_arr[i + 1] == sorted_arr[i]) {
      results.push(sorted_arr[i]);
    }
  }
  return results;
}

let duplicatedArray = [9, 4, 111, 2, 3, 4, 9, 5, 7];
console.log(`The duplicates in ${duplicatedArray} are ${findDuplicates(duplicatedArray)}`);

Example 5: check for duplicates in array javascript

[1, 2, 3].every((e, i, a) => a.indexOf(e) === i) // true

[1, 2, 1].every((e, i, a) => a.indexOf(e) === i) // false
