distinct

For any type T,

distinct(collection: List<T>) : List<T>
distinct(collection: Bag<T>)  : Bag<T>

Returns the unique items in collection.

• For lists, distinct deduplicates the collection while preserving the order of the items in the original list: The first occurance of an element is kept and all other subsequent occurances are dropped.

  list        =  [1, 2, 3, 1, 4, 2];
  uniqueList  =  distinct(list);  // [1, 2, 3, 4]
