Lodash _.sortedUniq method is used to return the lowest index of the array where an element can be inserted and maintain its sorted order. Also, this method is like _.uniq except that it's designed and optimized for sorted arrays. In _.uniq only the first occurrence of each element is kept and the order of result values is determined by the order they occur in the array.
Syntax:_.sortedUniq(array);Parameters:
Example 1: In this example, we are getting a unique array by the use of the lodash _.sortedUniq() method.
javascript
// Requiring the lodash library
const _ = require("lodash");
// Original array
let y = ([1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4]);
// Use of _.sortedUniq()
// method
let index = _.sortedUniq(y, [1, 1, 2]);
// Printing the output
console.log(index);
Output:
[ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
Example 2: In this example, we are getting a unique array of characters by the use of the lodash _.sortedUniq() method.
javascript
// Requiring the lodash library
const _ = require("lodash");
// Original array
let y = (['p', 'q', 'r', 't', 't',
'u', 's', 't', 't', 'v', 'w']);
// Use of _.sortedUniq()
// method
let index = _.sortedUniq(y);
// Printing the output
console.log(index);
Output:
['p', 'q', 'r', 't', 'u', 's', 't', 'v', 'w']
Example 3: In this example, we are getting a unique array of strings by the use of the lodash _.sortedUniq() method.
javascript
// Requiring the lodash library
const _ = require("lodash");
// Original array
let y = (['chemistry', 'computer', 'computer',
'english', 'geography', 'hindi', 'hindi',
'maths', 'physics']);
// Use of _.sortedUniq()
// method
let index = _.sortedUniq(y);
// Printing the output
console.log(index);
Output:
['chemistry', 'computer', 'english',
'geography', 'hindi', 'maths', 'physics']
Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the library lodash to be installed.
