removing duplicate items on a list

D912349 over 12 years ago

Hi everyone,

Is their a function that that removes duplicates in a certain list?.

example:

input list is..

listWithDuplicate = ( "a" "b" "c" "d" "a" "c" "d" "a" "a")

after running the certain function, the output should look like this..

newList = ( "a" "b" "c" "d")..

I am thinking of using looping statements but using loops will affect the time to run the program specially when the list consist of many items..

Thanks in Advance..

You can try using the foreach function, see code below;

newList = nil
foreach( sel listWithDuplicate
if( (member(sel newList) == nil) then
newList = sort(cons(sel newList) 'alphalessp)
)
)
