# `distinct` Function
|
|
|
|
`distinct` takes a list and returns a new list with any duplicate elements
|
|
removed.
|
|
|
|
The first occurrence of each value is retained and the relative ordering of
|
|
these elements is preserved.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
> distinct(["a", "b", "a", "c", "d", "b"])
|
|
[
|
|
"a",
|
|
"b",
|
|
"c",
|
|
"d",
|
|
]
|
|
```
