Duplicate values in Array

Hey everybody, this is my first post and i'm fairly new at programming in general but i am intersted in it, i was just wondering how i'd be able to go through an array and omit duplicate values in it?

so far, i've created an array and using a "for" loop, i've allowed the user to input 20 int values to the array, but i'm stuck now, i can't seem to figure out how to omit duplicates and display the values once

hopefully somebody can help me out?

thanks in advance,
Tony

1. Hint: If you move to STL classes like list, its a matter of 1 single statment that you can remove duplicates from the list.

2. For int, you can try out:

Code:

---

int i,j,k,array[20];

for (i=0,j=0; i<20; i++)
{
 cin >> array[j];
 
 for (k=0;k<j;k++) if (array[k]==array[j]) j--;
 
 j++;
}

// Now array[0] through array[j-1] contains values with no duplicates

cout << endl << "The array elements:";
for (i=0;i<j;i++) cout << array[i];

---

Hope it helps. :)

Do you want to display unique values but allow duplicate values in the array or do you want to prevent duplicates from being entered or do you want to remove duplicates after the first twenty were entered? Do you want to display unique values in ascending or descending or sequence of entry?

Unfortunately with a language as flexible as C++ comes the responsibility for being as precise as possible with deciding/describing what you want to do.
