To make it clear: set() does not preserve the given order of a list. lst = [1,2,7,3,1,5,9,1,0,2,4] # print(set(lst)) # result is {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9} this is not preserving order ! res = [] [res.append(i) for i in lst if i not in res] print(res) # result is: [1, 2, 7, 3, 5, 9, 0, 4] this is correct: the evaluation is running from left to right

Though You should show us your attempt first.. However, Hint(with most simple syntax according to me): s=list(input()) #Use it with list.count It gives the number of times a particular item occurs in a list... # Use if-else statements with it and for loops...

Sahil Aujla Yes, you have to show us your attempt before asking us to do your project.You could have asked "How to remove duplicate items in a list" and you have given sample input and output.. Often, "write a program" these words are considered as homework or assignment. Learn the way for asking questions. Take care for this next time.

Use dict.fromkeys() to preserve ordering: mylist = [9, 9, 10, 2, 3, 10, 3, 8, 4, 9, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7] mylist = list(dict.fromkeys(mylist)) print(mylist)

Mansi 👑 suael I want the order of the numbers to be same [2,3,4,5,6,7] but ysing set() will not give it because order does not matter in set().... so the duplicate items would be removed but the order will not be same by using set(). let's find some other way
