Is there some software that can take a Dictionary of key: value pairs and find all the duplicate keys? The dataset was input manually and a mistake was made somewhere in a long list of data. All we can think to do is to copy the Dictonary to Pages and use the Find feature to check each key one by one.
Got a tip for us?

A Swift dictionary cannot have duplicates and if there are duplicate keys it will just see it as changing the value belonging to said key. So if you just create a Swift dictionary, runt through your values inserting it there you have a duplicate free version.
If you just want to find them and not remove them, you can similarly use a hashed lookup. Just have a dict that maps key to "foundIndices [Int]" and then update the corresponding array with the index through the keys array. Then you can filter out all the values arrays don't have 2+ elements
