    Cool removing dupes out of an array - pls someone explain this to me..

    I am new to programming and to C programming itself....I was wondering how do I go about removing duplicate entries in an array, in most simplest code?
    for example:
    a[7] = {1,2,5,1,2,3,3}
    and I want to remove duplicates and store new entries in a anew array, say b[] that would have unique 1,2,5,3 entries only.... Please help me out I am lost here....
    :-(

    Be patient, if you post the same question twice in one day then all you will do is annoy us.

    My best code is written with the delete key.

    ok you can do it like this


    a[7] is the array
    b[] is the new array

    Code:
    for(int i=0;i<7;i++)
    {
    
       for(int j=i;j<7;j++)  
           {
                        
              if(a[i]==a[j])
              cout<<"Same number detected";
              
         }
    
    }

    so here you can see which number is same.. You can now write a function copy which copies all the numbers and removes the repeated numbers..
