delete duplicated consecutive elements in array

[nuvo]

Hi

I am trying to make a vi that  will get an array and check for each 2 consecutive elements if they are the same - if yes delete only one of them and move on to the next couple and check again.

for example :

 input array :           16 2 67 128 10 10 42 55 10 10 10 10 22 33 10 03 22 55

output  should be  : 16 2 67 128 10  42 55 10  10  22 33 10 03 22 55

i will appreciate  any help

thanks

Thanks but it is not what i need 

the input is:                                  1626 7128 1010 4255 1010 1010 2233 1003 2255 

the output from this function is :  1626 7128 1042 5522 3303 

and i need it to be :                      1626 7128 10 4255 10 10 2233 1003 2255 

from every  duplicated couple to take one 

thanks

A simple FOR loop with a conditional output tunnel and a Feedback Node (or shift register) will do the trick.

Thanks to you 

but still not exactly what  I need because if I have Input 01 10 10 10 10 02

I get out put :                                                                   01 10 02

And I want to get                                                              01 10  10  02  

from every two consecutive numbers to get  one

(I know if it will be duplicated it would be an even number of times)

Thanks

Hi nuvo,

so you want to keep a value

 IF x[n] <> x[n-1] OR x[n-1] == x[n-2]

?

(Well, my expression is most probably not correct, but it's your task to define your requirement anyway. 🙂 )

All you need to do is to define your requirement in the correct way…

This is one of many ways to accomplish what you need. Assuming that the input array has always an even number of elements.

Then just add a little more logic to keep an element if the previous was thrown out.

Ditto that!

Hey, 

What the use of that NaN at the input of Feedback initializer.
