# `distinct` Function
-> **Note:** This page is about Terraform 0.12 and later. For Terraform 0.11 and
earlier, see
[0.11 Configuration Language: Interpolation Syntax](../../configuration-0-11/interpolation.html).
`distinct` takes a list and returns a new list with any duplicate elements
removed.
The first occurrence of each value is retained and the relative ordering of
these elements is preserved.
## Examples
```
> distinct(["a", "b", "a", "c", "d", "b"])
[
"a",
"b",
"c",
"d",
]
```
