Remove duplicates from integer array

Question

I having a problem with coding this:

Write a static method named removeDuplicates that takes as input an array of integers and returns as a result a new

Answer 1

Maybe you can use lambdaj (download here,website), this library is very powerfull for managing collections (..list,arrays), the following code is very simple and works perfectly:

import static ch.lambdaj.Lambda.selectDistinct;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

public class DistinctList {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
         List numbers =  Arrays.asList(1,3,4,2,1,5,6,8,8,3,4,5,13);
         System.out.println("List with duplicates: " + numbers);
         System.out.println("List without duplicates: " + selectDistinct(numbers));
     }
}

This code shows:

List with duplicates: [1, 3, 4, 2, 1, 5, 6, 8, 8, 3, 4, 5, 13]
List without duplicates: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 13]

In one line you can get a distinct list, this is a simple example but with this library you can resolve more.

selectDistinct(numbers)

You must add lambdaj-2.4.jar to your project. I hope this will be useful.

Note: This will help you assuming you can have alternatives to your code.
