**Examples**

### Drop duplicate by keeping the first occurrence of the duplicate value

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Node" %}

```javascript
const dfd = require("danfojs-node")

let data1 = [10, 45, 56, 10, 23, 20, 10, 10]
let sf = new dfd.Series(data1)
let sf_drop = sf.dropDuplicates()

sf_drop.print()
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Output" %}

```
