Non Unique Elements

Question

Write a program which finds the non-unique elements of an array of signed integers. The resulting array can be in any order.

Your answer may be a snippet which assumes the input to be stored in a variable (d, say) and evaluates to the correct result.

Test Cases

Each test case is a single line in the format input => output. Note that other permutations of the output are valid as well.

[]                        => []
[-1, 0, 1]                => []
[1, 1]                    => [1]
[3, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 5, 3]  => [3, 0, 1]
[-34, 0, 1, -34, 4, 8, 4] => [-34, 4]

Order of the elements doesn't matter.

This is code golf, so the shortest answer (in bytes) wins.

Answer 1

K5, 5 bytes

Assuming the input is already in a variable called d,

?d^?d

Take the distinct elements (?) of d except (d^) the distinct elements of d (?d). Nicely symmetrical, no? This works because the "except" operator removes only the first occurrence of the right argument from the left argument.

More generally,

nu: {?x^?x}

In action:

  nu'(();-1 0 1;1 1;3 0 0 1 1 0 5 3;-34 0 1 -34 4 8 4)
(()
 ()
 ,1
 0 1 3
 -34 4)

Edit:

If we wanted to preserve the order of the first occurrence of non-unique elements, we could reverse the source list before and after we remove the unique elements via except at the cost of 4 extra bytes:

  nu: {?|(|x)^?x}
  nu'(();-1 0 1;1 1;3 0 0 1 1 0 5 3;-34 0 1 -34 4 8 4)
(()
 ()
 ,1
 3 0 1
 -34 4)

Answer 2

CJam, 10

Assuming the array is already in variable D (based on this comment):

D{De=(},_&

Try it online

Explanation:

D{…},   filter items of D based on the block
  De=   count occurrences in D
  (     decrement (resulting in true/false for duplicate/unique)
_&      remove duplicates from the results

Note: append a p if you want pretty printing, otherwise the resulting array is just printed out with no delimiters by default. That is acceptable since the question specifies the snippet only needs to "evaluate to the correct result".

Standard input/output version, 13:

q~_{1$e=(},&p

Try it online

Explanation:

q~      read and evaluate the input array
_       duplicate the array
{…},    filter items based on the block
  1$    copy the array
  e=    count occurrences
  (     decrement (resulting in true/false for duplicate/unique)
&       set intersection with the initial array (removes duplicates)
p       pretty print

Answer 3

Haskell - 32

import Data.List;f l=nub$l\\nub l

Pretty short, even with the import. a \\ b removes the first occurrence of each element of b from a, and nub makes all elements of a list unique.

S{.-Q{Q

Try it online.

How it works

Pyth automatically stores the evaluated input in Q and prints all unused return values.

     {Q  Convert Q into a set. This removes duplicates.
  .-Q    Perform "bagwise" difference of Q and set(Q).
         This removes the first occurrence of all elements in Q.
 {       Convert to set to deduplicate.
S        Sort. Returns a list.

Answer 7

Mathematica, 29 26 bytes

Assuming that input is stored in d:

Select[d⋃d,d~Count~#>1&]

Otherwise, it's 29 bytes as an unnamed function:

Cases[#⋃#,n_/;#~Count~n>1]&

Here, d⋃d (or #⋃#) is a golfing trick to remove duplicates - by taking the set union with itself, Mathematica interprets the list as a set, removing duplicates automatically, while the actual union doesn't do anything.

Afterwards, both methods simply filter those elements which appear in the original list at least twice.

PowerShell, 31 29 Bytes

($d|group|?{$_.Count-1}).Name

Assumes that $d is already populated (as given) -- e.g., $d=@(-34,0,1,-34,4,8,4).

Pipes the array into the Group-Object cmdlet, which groups like-items together and spits out an object that's essentially an array of arrays. We pipe that to a Where-Object (the ? operator) that has Count greater than one (i.e., there are duplicates), and output the .Name of those items. Has a side bonus of preserving the initial ordering, too.

Answer 11

Python 3.5, 30

[x for x in{*d}if~-d.count(x)]

Uses Python 3.5's set unpacking. The ~- subtracts 1, which takes a count of 1 to 0 which is Falsy.

This gives a list. If giving a set is OK, then we use a set comprehension, saving 1 char and not needing version 3.5:

{x for x in d if~-d.count(x)}

Answer 15

Julia, 30 29 bytes

∪(d[find(sum(d.==d',1)-1)])

d.==d' creates a symmetric matrix with the value at i,j being true if d[i]==d[j] and false otherwise. summing in one dimension and then subtracting 1 will produce zero if there's only one of the element and nonzero if there's more than one. find will obtain the indexes of the non-zero elements, which are then used to index the array d itself. ∪ (union) acts like unique when used in this way, removing the repeats.

Old solution:

∪(filter(i->sum(d.==i)>1,d))

Simple - for each entry, it checks if there's more than one of it in the array. Those for which there are more than one are returned by "filter", and then ∪ (union) acts like unique when used in this way, removing the repeats.

Note: originally had it as a function, but question allows array to be stored in a variable, for which I've chosen d as suggested in the question.

Answer 24

Mathematica, 23 bytes

With input stored in d:

Pick[#,#2>1]&@@@Tally@d

As a function, 24 bytes:

Pick[#,#2>1]&@@@Tally@#&

for example, with

d = {3, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 5, 3}
Tally@d

returns this:

   {{3, 2},
    {0, 3},
    {1, 2},
    {5, 1}}

(first element of each sublist is the element, second one is frequency of occurrence). Applying to this list Pick[#,#2>1]&@@@ transforms it to

{Pick[3,2>1], Pick[0,3>1], Pick[1,2>1], Pick[5,1>1]}

And where the second argument of Pick evaluates to True the first argument is returned.

Assuming the list is stored in $_ you could use any of the following snippets.
_{^{( which was specifically allowed )}}

(--«.BagHash).Set.keys # 23 bytes

keys .Bag (-) .Set # 18 bytes

# U+2216 SET MINUS
keys .Bag∖.Set # 16 bytes in utf8

---

If you don't care that you get a Bag you could leave off keys .

$_ = [3, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 5, 3];
.Bag∖.Set ∋ 3 # True
.Bag∖.Set ∋ 5 # False

---

None of these have the limitation of only working on signed integers, or even just numbers for that matter.

say keys .Bag∖.Set given |(<a b c d a a c>), 1/3, 2/3 - 1/3;
# (a c 0.333333)

Answer 31

PHP, 35 37 bytes

Pretty straight forward:

array_diff_key($a,array_unique($a))

---

As a note: I didn't add the ; at the end of the line, as the questions states:

Your answer may be a snippet which assumes the input to be stored in a variable (d, say) and evaluates to the correct result

So this snippet could be used like this and evaluates to the correct result:

print implode(' ', array_diff_key($a,array_unique($a)));

---

Another note

The code above works for all test cases provided in the challenge. In those all non-unique characters are at most duplicates. If a element can occur more than two times, another array_unique() would be necessary, which increases the length to 49 bytes:

array_unique(array_diff_key($a,array_unique($a)))

---

Answer 39

Python, 143 bytes

There are already some very good Python answers out there (see @dieters, @ppperry & @xnor answers) so I decided to take a different approach, have some fun with recursion and python lambda functions and see what could I come up with. This is not even close to the best answers here but it was fun to think.

The program takes the integer list as a parameter of function p and returns a list containing non-unique elements.

p=lambda i:[j for j in(lambda n:[]if len(n)<=1 else[(lambda x:x[0]if len([1 for o in x[1:]if x[0]==o])==1 else 'N')(n)]+p(n[1:]))(i) if j!='N']

Two line version for better readability:

p=lambda i:[j for j in(lambda n:[]if len(n)<=1 else[(lambda x:x[0]if 
len([1 for o in x[1:]if x[0]==o])==1 else 'N')(n)]+p(n[1:]))(i) if j!='N']

Short Explanation

The inner lambda takes a list x as a parameter and returns the first element of such list if it is repeated only once in the rest of the list (x[1:]). If not it returns 'N'.

The lambda in between the outer and inner lambdas is the one in charge of the recursive search. This returns a list containing the non-unique elements and plenty of 'N's. This is the one which takes the integer list as a parameter.

The outer lambda filters the resulting list getting rid of the unwanted 'N's.

Test cases

p([])
[]
p([-1,0,1])
[]
p([3, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 5, 3])
[3,0,1]

STATA, 18 bytes

bys v:drop if _n-2

Note that this requires the paid version of STATA.

Assumes the data is stored in a variable v and then the result will be in v at the end. It works by sorting by v and grouping duplicate values together. Each duplicate value will have at least two values, which means it can drop anything that is not the second element of each value. Third and subsequent elements will already be represented and the first element will either be unique or represented by the second.

For example, make a file a.b with data:

3
0
0
1
1
0
5
3

Then run the following code

insheet using a.b,clear
rename v1 v
bys v:drop if _n-2 //the actual code that does stuff
list v,noobs noheader

~.d#~1<+/=/~d

Assumes the list is in d.

Explanation:

       +/       NB. sum the columns (giving amount of occurrences)
     1<         NB. see which columns are greater than 1 (=not unique)
  d#~           NB. select those elements from d 
~.              NB. unique elements from that
