#You can also do like this a = [1,6,1,4,6,9,1,6,9,1] uniq = [] for i in a: if i not in uniq: uniq.append(i) print(uniq)

set sorts the list and can only hold a value once so duplicates are removed. If you wish to maintain the original order, this can be used. https://code.sololearn.com/cdXh680icSEt
