The following program takes an unsorted array containing duplicate entries and finds the unique values and sorts them into a new array:
import std.stdio: writeln;
import std.conv;
import std.algorithm;
import std.array;
void main() {
int[] unsortedArray = [5, 3, 8, 5, 2, 3, 0, 8];
int[] uniqueArray;
uniqueArray = uniq(sort(unsortedArray)).array;
// or you can use
// uniqueArray = unsortedArray.sort().uniq.array;
writeln(uniqueArray); // [0, 2, 3, 5, 8]
}
Note that the .array
is required because we are storing the results in a new array.
