Python Program to Remove the Duplicate Items from a List

Problem Description
The program takes a lists and removes the duplicate items from the list.

Problem Solution
1. Take the number of elements in the list and store it in a variable.
2. Accept the values into the list using a for loop and insert them into the list.
3. Use a for loop to traverse through the elements of the list.
4. Use an if statement to check if the element is already there in the list and if it is not there,
append it to another list.
5. Print the non-duplicate items of the list.
6. Exit.

Program/Source Code
Here is source code of the Python Program to remove the duplicate items from a list. The program
output is also shown below.

a=[]
n= int(input("Enter the number of elements in list:"))
for x in range(0,n):
element=int(input("Enter element" + str(x+1) + ":"))
a.append(element)
b = set()
unique = []
for x in a:
if x not in b:
unique.append(x)
b.add(x)
print("Non-duplicate items:")
print(unique)

Program Explanation
1. User must enter the number of elements in the list and store it in a variable.
2. User must enter the values of elements into the list.

3. The append function obtains each element from the user and adds the same to the end
of the list as many times as the number of elements taken.
4. The for loop basically traverses through the elements of the list and the if statement
checks if the element is a duplicate or not.
5. If the element isn’t a duplicate, it is added into another list.
6. The list containing non-duplicate items is then displayed.

5. Store the name of the word with the longest length in a temporary variable.
6. Display the word with the longest length
7. Exit.

Program/Source Code
Here is source code of the Python Program to read a list of words and return the length of the
longest one. The program output is also shown below.

a=[]
n= int(input("Enter the number of elements in list:"))
for x in range(0,n):

a.append(element)
max1=len(a[0])
temp=a[0]
for i in a:
if(len(i)>max1):
max1=len(i)
temp=i
print("The word with the longest length is:")
print(temp)
Program Explanation
1. User must enter the number of elements in the list and store it in a variable.
2. User must enter the values of elements into the list.
3. The append function obtains each element from the user and adds the same to the end
of the list as many times as the number of elements taken.
4. Assuming that the first element in the list has the longest length, its length is stored in a
variable to be compared with other lengths later in the program.
5. Based on the above assumption, the first element is also copied to a temporary variable.
6. The for loop is used to traverse through the elements in the list.
7. The if statement then compares the lengths of other elements with the length of the first
element in the list.
8. If the length of a particular word is the largest, that word is copied to the temporary
variable.
9. The word with the longest length is printed.

3. The append function obtains each element from the user and adds the same to the end
of the list as many times as the number of elements taken.
4. User must enter the word and the occurrence of the word to remove.
5. A for loop is used to traverse across the elements in the list.
6. An if statement then checks whether the element matches equal to the word that must
be removed and whether the occurrence of the element matches the occurrence to be removed.
7. If both aren’t true, the element is appended to another list.
8. If only the word matches, the count value is incremented.
9. Finally the number of repetitions along with the updated list and the distinct elements is
printed.

Python Program to Detect if Two Strings are Anagrams

Problem Description
The program takes two strings and checks if the two strings are anagrams.

Anagrams:
A word, phrase, or name formed by rearranging the letters of another, such as cinema, formed
from iceman.

Problem Solution
1. Take two strings from the user and store them in separate variables.
2. Then use sorted() to sort both the strings into lists.
3. Compare the sorted lists and check if they are equal.
4. Print the final result.
5. Exit.

s1=input("Enter first string:")

s2=input("Enter second string:")

print("The strings are anagrams.")
else:
print("The strings aren't anagrams.")

Program Explanation
1. User must enter both the strings and store them in separate variables.
2. The characters of both the strings are sorted into separate lists.
3. They are then checked whether they are equal or not using an if statement.
4. If they are equal, they are anagrams as the characters are simply jumbled in anagrams.
5. If they aren’t equal, the strings aren’t anagrams.
6. The final result is printed.
