Remove duplicates of array - php

Question

I was just going through these questions for PHP and got stuck at one of them. The question is:
You have a PHP 1 dimensional array. Please write a PHP function that
takes 1 array as its parameter and returns an array. The function must
delete values in the input array that shows up 3 times or more?
For example, if you give the function
array(1, 3, 5, 2, 6, 6, 6, 3, 1, 9)the function will returnarray(1, 3, 5, 2, 3, 1, 9)
I was able to check if they are repeating themselves but I apply it to the array I am getting as input.
function removeDuplicate($array){
$result = array_count_values( $array );
$values = implode(" ", array_values($result));
echo $values . "<br>";
}
$qArray = array(1, 3, 5, 2, 6, 6, 6, 3, 1, 9);
removeDuplicate($qArray);
One more thing, we cannot use array_unique because it includes the value which is repeated and in question we totally remove them from the current array.

Answer 1

Assuming the value may not appear 3+ times anywhere in the array:
$array = array(1, 3, 5, 2, 6, 6, 6, 3, 1, 9);
// create array indexed by the numbers to remove
$remove = array_filter(array_count_values($array), function($value) {
return $value >= 3;
});
// filter the original array
$results = array_values(array_filter($array, function($value) use ($remove) {
return !array_key_exists($value, $remove);
}));
If values may not appear 3+ times consecutively:
$results = [];
for ($i = 0, $n = count($array); $i != $n;) {
$p = $i++;
// find repeated characters
while ($i != $n && $array[$p] === $array[$i]) {
++$i;
}
if ($i - $p < 3) {
// add to results
$results += array_fill(count($results), $i - $p, $array[$p]);
}
}

Answer 2

This should work :
function removeDuplicate($array) {
foreach ($array as $key => $val) {
$new[$val] ++;
if ($new[$val] >= 3)
unset($array[$key]);
}
return $array;
}

Answer 3

run this function i hope this help..
function removeDuplicate($array){
$result = array_count_values( $array );
$dub = array();
$answer = array();
foreach($result as $key => $val) {
if($val >= 3) {
$dub[] = $key;
}
}
foreach($array as $val) {
if(!in_array($val, $dub)) {
$answer[] = $val;
}
}
return $answer;
}

Answer 4

You can use this function with any number of occurrences you want - by default 3
function removeDuplicate($arr, $x = 3){
$new = $rem = array();
foreach($arr as $val) {
$new[$val]++;
if($new[$val]>=$x){
$rem[$val]=$new[$val];
}
}
$new = array_keys(array_diff_key($new, $rem));
return $new;
}

Answer 5

I think it is getting correct output. just try once.
$array=array(1,2,3,7,4,4,3,5,5,6,7);
$count=count($array);
$k=array();
for($i=0;$i<=$count;$i++)
{
if(!in_array($array[$i],$k))
{
$k[]=$array[$i];
}
}
array_pop($k);
print_r($k);
in this first $k is an empty array,after that we are inserting values into $k.

Answer 6

You should use array_unique funciton.
<?php
$q = array(1, 3, 5, 2, 6, 6, 6, 3, 1, 9);
print_r(array_unique($q));
?>
Try it and let me know if it worked.
