Summary: Demonstrates how to sort and cull simple arrays.

I have an ON_SimpleArray with data (doubles) in it. How can I sort the data and delete duplicates?

The following sample code should provide the functionality you want.

void SortDoubles( ON_SimpleArray<double>& arr, bool bIncreasing = true )
{
  if( arr.Count() > 1 )
  {
    if( bIncreasing )
      arr.QuickSort( &ON_CompareIncreasing<double> );
    else
      arr.QuickSort( &ON_CompareDecreasing<double> );
  }
}
 
void CullDoubles( ON_SimpleArray<double>& arr, double tolerance = ON_ZERO_TOLERANCE )
{
  const int count = arr.Count();
  if( count > 1 )
  {
    arr.QuickSort( &ON_CompareIncreasing<double> );
 
    if( tolerance < ON_ZERO_TOLERANCE )
      tolerance = ON_ZERO_TOLERANCE;
 
    double d = *arr.Last();
    int i;
    for( i = count - 2; i >= 0; i-- )
    {
      if( fabs(d - arr[i]) <= tolerance )
        arr.Remove(i);
      else
        d = arr[i];
    }
 
    arr.Shrink();
  }
}
