Hi. I was needing something like the SQL select distinct, that doesn't take into account repeated objects. I didn't found anything useful in Collection, and thus, I have implemented this:
Collection >> collectDistinct: aBlock
collectDistinct: aBlock
��� "Evaluate aBlock with each of the receiver's elements as the argument.�
��� Collect the resulting values into a Set, thus repeated objects will not be present.
��� Answer the new collection."
��� | newSet |
��� newSet := self species new asSet.
��� self do: [:each | newSet add: (aBlock value: each)].
��� ^ newSet
Is there a better way ?�� Do you think it make sense to put this in Pharo ?
Cheers
Mariano
