A program that deletes the duplicate numbers

fonz87 · #1 23-Feb-2008, 13:32

I'm trying to write a program that deletes the duplicate numbers. For example if I enter 1 1 2 4 5 7 2
I should print 1 2 4 5 7
This is what I have so far, I don't know how to get rid of the duplicates

Python Code:

import string
import math
def main():
    x = raw_input("Enter a number")
    mylist = []
    sentinel = "-1"
    while (x!=sentinel):
        y=eval(x)
        mylist.append(y)
        mylist.sort()
        x = raw_input("Enter a number")   
    print mylist [0:3]
       
main()

Take a look at the string processing functions and the list manipulation functions. One of those two should have something that helps.

(Sorry I can't be more specific. I don't have my Python books available right now and I can't remember the exact methods you can use.)
