Try below solution Using LINQ List int > ages = new List int > { 21, 46, 46, 55, 17, 21, 55, 55 }; IEnumerable int > distinctAges = ages.Distinct(); Console.WriteLine( "Distinct ages:" ); foreach ( int age in distinctAges) { Console.WriteLine(age); } All the best

Actually there are multiple ways to do that and good news is you don't have to write any algorithm. All we need is to convert "int[,,]" to a collection that implemets "IEnumerable" interface and then we'll apply "Distinct" LINQ operator on collection, the "Distinct" operator will return us a unique number from collection. Before applying any LINQ operator make sure you have following using statement. using System.Linq; This is where all the LINQ operators on "IEnumerable" and "IEnumerable " interfaces lives as extension methods Way #1: If you have an array declared like this var arr = new int [ 1, 2,3 ]; //converting array to list var arrList = arr.OfType int >().ToList(); //getting unique number var uniqueNumber = arrList.Distinct(); Way #2: Declaring array using object initializer syntax give us an enumeratable collection by default and we don't need to convert it to "List ". var arrList = new int [] { 1, 1, 2, 2, 3 }; var uniqueNumber = arrList.Distinct();

foreach (element e in array) { int count = 0; foreach (element tmp in array) if (e.equals(tmp) count++; if (count // that means it is unique as requested in the question PrintOrSomethingElse(e); // perform your desired action with the element here or collect it into a collection etc } http://www.softwareandfinance.com/CSharp/Unique_Elements_Arrays.html
