Swift 3: Removing Duplicates / group them as 1 in uitableviewcell - ios

Question

I am trying to either remove the duplicate entries fetched from the external database /group them as one. Initially, my sql query had a group clause. When I used it as group clause, the query was working, but not appropriately. I then removed the group clause from the query, it now shows the duplicate entries.
I have four regions: - North, East, South,West and ALL
By default it shows all region. Now there could be a profile that appears in more than one region. So when it loads as default - all regions, the profile should only appear once there, but when we tab on the regions, the profile should also show up there if the profile belongs in that region.
At them moment, it is showing all random. Some profiles that are available in more than one region, they do appear and some they dont. Some profile that is meant to be only in one region, do appear in 2 regions.
I dont know how can I share the code or screenshots, but happy to provide more details to look at the call.
Thanks
My code:
func removeDuplicate (sourceArray: [String]) -> [String] {
var uniqueArray:[String] = []
for object in sourceArray {
if !uniqueArray.contains(object)
{
uniqueArray.append(object)
}
}
return uniqueArray
}

Answer 1

As per my knowledge if you want to remove duplicate from array then use below logic with your datatype
func removeDublicate (sourceArray: [Int]) -> [Int] {
var uniqueArray:[Int] = []
for object in sourceArray {
if !uniqueArray.contains(object)
{
uniqueArray.append(object)
}
}
return uniqueArray
}
let testing = removeDublicate(sourceArray: [1,2,2,5,1,8,3,1,2,8,5])
print(testing)
OUTPUT
[1, 2, 5, 8, 3]
Replace this line
let tableObjects:StorageSubCatagoriezTwoNorth = subCatagorizeDataTwoN[indexPath.row]
With this
var tableObjects:StorageSubCatagoriezTwoNorth = subCatagorizeDataTwoN[indexPath.row]
tableObjects = removeDuplicate(sourceArray: [tableObjects.nameString ])
Do it for all regions

In swift 3 you can use this code for removing duplicate from array. Only this much code is needed. Try this code..
import UIKit
class ViewController2: UIViewController {
var myArray: [Int] = [1,2,3,4,3,2,5,7,5,8]
override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()
let uniqueArray = Array(Set(self.myArray))
print(uniqueArray) // This print result will be [2, 4, 5, 7, 1, 8]
}
}
OUTPUT
[2, 4, 5, 7, 1, 8]
