unique values

Let's keep it easy this week as we get back into it.

Write a function called uniques that takes a sequence of values. That sequence is going to have zero or more unique values. The rest will repeat at least once. Your job is to return the unique values in the same order as they appear in the argument sequence.

Examples

(uniques [1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 5 6]) ;=> (4)
(uniques [:a :b :c :c]) ;=> (:a :b)
(uniques [1 2 3 1 2 3]) ;=> ()

Thanks to this site for the challenge idea where it is considered Medium level in Python.

Email submissions to eric@purelyfunctional.tv before June 21, 2020. You can discuss the submissions in the comments below.

It is a rare case when it is optimal to use -> pipeline with collections.

(defn uniques [coll]
  (-> coll
      (frequencies)
      (#(fn [x] (= 1 (% x))))
      (filter coll)))

Here is my submission:

(defn single-in-coll? [n coll]
  (= 1 (count (filter #(= % n) coll)))) 
(defn uniques [coll]
  (filter #(single-in-coll? % coll) coll))

I think from the spec that maybe a unique nil should be reported

(defn uniques
  [xs]
  (let [unique-items (->> xs
                          frequencies
                          (filter #(= 1 (val %)))
                          keys
                          set)]
    (if (some nil? unique-items)
      (filter #(or (nil? %)
                   (unique-items %)) xs )
      (filter unique-items xs ))))

(deftest uniques-test
  (testing "uniques"
    (is (= '(:a :b) (uniques [:a :b :c :c])))
    (is (= '(4) (uniques [1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 5 6])))
    (is (= '() (uniques [1 2 3 1 2 3])))
    (is (= '(nil 1) (uniques [nil 2 3 1 2 3])))
    (is (= '() (uniques [nil nil ])))))

(defn uniques [v]
  (->> v
       (frequencies)
       (filter #(<= (second %) 1))
       (map first)))

@tychobrailleur This condition "unique values in the same order as they appear in the argument sequence" is not fulfilled, unfortunately. It would be nice to use into for java.util.LinkedHashSet which keeps insertion order, but it does not work.
