Remove duplicates and original from list

Question

Given a list of strings I want to remove the duplicates and original word.

For example:

lst = [\'a\', \'b\', \'c\', \'c\', \'c\', \'d\', \'e\', \'e\']
         


        

Answer 1

You could make a secondary empty list and only append items that aren't already in it.

oldList = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'c', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'e']
newList = []
for item in oldList:
    if item not in newList:
        newList.append(item)
print newList

I don't have an interpreter with me, but the logic seems sound.
