Eliminate consecutive duplicates of list elements

Question

Is there a \"nice\" way to eliminate consecutive duplicates of list elements?

Example:

[\"red\"; \"red\"; \"blue\"; \"green         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

using System;    
using System.Linq;    
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace RemoveDuplicates
{
    class MainClass
    {
        public static void Main (string[] args)
        {

            string[] a = new string[] 
            { "red", "red", "red", "blue", 
                      "green", "green", "red", "red", 
                      "yellow", "white", "white", "red", "white", "white" };

            for(int i = 0; i < a.Length; ++i)
                if (i == a.Length-1 || a[i] != a[i+1])
                    Console.WriteLine(a[i]);

        }
    }
}

Output:

red
blue
green
red
yellow
white
red
white
