RemoveDuplicatesInPlace Generic Method

Wintellect PowerCollections

previous page next page

[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Remove consecutive "equal" items from a list or array. In each run of consecutive equal items in the list, all items after the first item in the run are removed. The replacement is done in-place, changing the list. The passed BinaryPredicate is used to determine if two items are "equal".

Namespace: Wintellect.PowerCollections
Assembly: PowerCollections (in PowerCollections.dll)

Syntax

C#
public static void RemoveDuplicatesInPlace<T>( IList<T> list, BinaryPredicate<T> predicate )

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Shared Sub RemoveDuplicatesInPlace(Of T) ( _ list As IList(Of T), _ predicate As BinaryPredicate(Of T) _ )

Visual C++
public: generic<typename T> static void RemoveDuplicatesInPlace ( IList<T>^ list, BinaryPredicate<T>^ predicate )

Parameters

list: IList<(Of <T>)>
The list or array to process.

predicate: BinaryPredicate<(Of <T>)>
The BinaryPredicate used to compare items for "equality".

Type Parameters

T

Remarks

Since an arbitrary BinaryPredicate is passed to this function, what is being tested for need not be true equality.

Although arrays cast to IList<T> are normally read-only, this method will work correctly and modify an array passed as list.
