Algorithm: efficient way to remove duplicate integers from an array

Question

I got this problem from an interview with Microsoft.

Given an array of random integers, write an algorithm in C that removes duplicated numbers an

Answer 1

Given an array of n elements, write an algorithm to remove all duplicates from the array in time O(nlogn)

Algorithm delete_duplicates (a[1....n])
//Remove duplicates from the given array 
//input parameters :a[1:n], an array of n elements.

{

temp[1:n]; //an array of n elements. 

temp[i]=a[i];for i=1 to n

 temp[i].value=a[i]

temp[i].key=i

 //based on 'value' sort the array temp.

//based on 'value' delete duplicate elements from temp.

//based on 'key' sort the array temp.//construct an array p using temp.

 p[i]=temp[i]value

  return p.

In other of elements is maintained in the output array using the 'key'. Consider the key is of length O(n), the time taken for performing sorting on the key and value is O(nlogn). So the time taken to delete all duplicates from the array is O(nlogn).
