Removes all consecutive duplicate elements from a Sequence. //! @ingroup group-Sequence //! //! Given a `Sequence` and an optional binary predicate, `unique` returns //! a new sequence containing only the first element of every subrange //! of the original sequence whose elements are all equal. In other words, //! it turns a sequence of the form `[a, a, b, c, c, c, d, d, d, a]` into //! a sequence `[a, b, c, d, a]`. The equality of two elements is //! determined by the provided `predicate`, or by `equal` if no //! `predicate` is provided. //! //! //! Signature //! --------- //! Given a `Sequence` `S(T)`, a `Logical` `Bool` and a binary predicate //! \f$ T \times T \to Bool \f$, `unique` has the following signature: //! \f[ //! \mathtt{unique} : S(T) \times (T \times T \to Bool) \to S(T) //! \f] //! //! @param xs //! The sequence from which to remove consecutive duplicates. //! //! @param predicate //! A function called as `predicate(x, y)`, where `x` and `y` are adjacent //! elements of the sequence, and returning a `Logical` representing //! whether `x` and `y` should be considered equal. `predicate` should //! define an [equivalence relation][1] over the elements of the sequence. //! In the current implementation of the library, `predicate` has to //! return a compile-time `Logical`. This parameter is optional; it //! defaults to `equal` if it is not provided, which then requires the //! elements of the sequence to be compile-time `Comparable`. //! //! //! Syntactic sugar (`unique.by`) //! ----------------------------- //! `unique` can be called in an alternate way, which provides a nice //! syntax, especially in conjunction with the `comparing` combinator: //! @code //! unique.by(predicate, xs) == unique(xs, predicate) //! unique.by(predicate) == unique(-, predicate) //! @endcode //! //! where `unique(-, predicate)` denotes the partial application of //! `unique` to `predicate`. //! //! //! Example //! ------- //! @include example/unique.cpp //! //!
