Question

PYTHON

Generate a list of 50 random numbers ranging from 1 to 100 & use a function that will remove duplicates from this list, compact it, and print the original and resulting lists.

It MUST be well commented code with a description of the behavior.

Answer 1

from random import randint


def remove_duplicates(lst):
    result = []  # create empty list as result
    for num in lst:  # go through all numbers of list
        if num not in result:  # if number not in result
            result.append(num)  # then add it to result list
    return result  # return result 


lst = []
for i in range(50):  # iterate 50 times
    lst.append(randint(1, 100))  # add random number to lst

print("Original list:", lst)  # print original list
print("Compacted list:", remove_duplicates(lst))  # print compacted list
