Public Class Related Practice{ String Name; Integer id; }
Given a list of 'Related Practice' Objects, I want to extract unique 'Name' values(Distinct values) from the List .
I made an attempt, but it doesn't work for all cases, if anyone has any better ideas ?
//This method return unique values from a list
private static List<Related_Practice__c> getUniqueValues(List<Related_Practice__c> listInput){
List<Related_Practice__c> listOutput = new List<Related_Practice__c>();
for(Integer i = 0; i<listInput.size();i++){
for(Integer j = 0;j<listInput.size();j++){
if(i != j){
if(listInput[j].Practice_Name__c == listInput[i].Practice_Name__c){
listInput.remove(j);
}
}
}
}
listOutput.addAll(listInput);
return listOutput;
}
`
You can make use of Map
instead of using List
//This method return unique values from a list
private static List<Related_Practice__c> getUniqueValues(List<Related_Practice__c> listInput){
Map<String,Related_Practice__c> listOutputMap = new Map<String,Related_Practice__c>();
for(Integer i = 0; i<listInput.size();i++){
if(!listOutputMap.containsKey(listInput[i].Practice_Name__c)){
listOutputMap.put(listInput[i].Practice_Name__c,listInput[i])
}
}
return listOutputMap.values();
}
