步骤

1. Choose the sort order
Decide between alphabetical (lexicographic), numerical, or natural sort. Alphabetical sorts character by character (so '10' comes before '2'). Numerical sorts by numeric value. Natural sort handles mixed text and numbers (so 'file2' comes before 'file10').
输入sort: natural输出file2 before file10 -
2. Remove duplicates
After or before sorting, remove duplicate lines. Deduplication is case-sensitive by default ('Apple' and 'apple' are different). Choose case-insensitive deduplication if needed. Decide whether to keep the first or last occurrence of duplicates.
输入lines with duplicates输出unique lines only -
3. Apply and output
Run the sort and deduplication on the input list. The output is a sorted list with no duplicates. Verify the result by checking the line count and confirming the sort order is correct.
输入3,1,2,1,3输出1,2,3
预期结果
sorted 列表具有所有重复 removed.
常见错误
- Numbers sorted as strings
- Use numerical sort for numbers. '10' should come after '2' numerically, but before it alphabetically.
- Duplicates not removed due to whitespace
- Trim whitespace before comparing. 'apple ' and 'apple' are different strings.
排障指引
- If duplicates remain, check for trailing whitespace or different line endings.
- If sort order is wrong, verify the sort mode (alphabetical vs numerical vs natural).
安全限制
- Sorting and deduplication are pure text operations with no security implications.
