The challenge
Define a function that removes duplicates from an array of numbers and returns it as a result.
The order of the sequence has to stay the same.
The solution in Python code
Option 1:
def distinct(seq):
return list(dict.fromkeys(seq))
Option 2:
distinct = lambda s: [e for i,e in enumerate(s) if e not in s[:i]]
Option 3:
def distinct(seq):
result = []
seen = set()
for a in seq:
if a not in seen:
result.append(a)
seen.add(a)
return result

test.assert_equals(distinct([1, 2]), [1, 2])
test.assert_equals(distinct([1, 1, 2]), [1, 2])
test.assert_equals(distinct([1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]), [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
test.assert_equals(distinct([1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7]), [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7])
