About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

dedupe

Remove consecutive duplicated values.

Usage

import dedupe from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-base-dedupe@deno/mod.js';

dedupe( x, limit, equalNaNs )

Removes consecutive duplicated values.

var x = [ 1, 1, 2, 3, 3 ];

var y = dedupe( x, 1, false );
// returns [ 1, 2, 3 ]

var bool = ( x === y );
// returns true

When equalNaNs is false, NaN values are considered distinct, and, when equalNaNs is true, NaN values are considered equal.

var x = [ NaN, NaN, 2, NaN, NaN ];

var y1 = dedupe( x, 1, false );
// returns [ NaN, NaN, 2, NaN, NaN ]

var y2 = dedupe( x, 1, true );
// returns [ NaN, 2, NaN ]

To allow consecutive duplicate values up to a specified limit, provide a limit argument greater than one.

var x = [ 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3 ];

var y = dedupe( x, 2, false );
// returns [ 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3 ]

Notes

• The function mutates the input array.

Examples

import discreteUniform from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/random-array-discrete-uniform@deno/mod.js';
import dedupe from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-base-dedupe@deno/mod.js';

// Create an array of random numbers:
var x = discreteUniform( 30, 0, 5, {
    'dtype': 'generic'
});
// returns [...]

// Remove consecutive duplicates:
var y = dedupe( x, 1, false );
// returns [...]

console.log( y );
