DeleteDuplicatesBy

DeleteDuplicatesBy[{e1,e2,},f]

deletes those ei that yield duplicates in the list {f[e1],f[e2],}.

DeleteDuplicatesBy[f]

represents an operator form of DeleteDuplicatesBy that can be applied to an expression.

Details

  • DeleteDuplicatesBy[list,f] deletes all but the first ei to produce each distinct value of f[ei].
  • DeleteDuplicatesBy[<|key1val1,key2val2,|>,f] deletes values of f[vali] that duplicate earlier elements, ignoring the keyi.
  • DeleteDuplicatesBy never reorders elements, but only removes them.
  • DeleteDuplicatesBy[f][expr] is equivalent to DeleteDuplicatesBy[expr,f].
