# HOW TO REMOVE DUPLICATES FROM A LIST:
# 1) CREATE A LIST
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 1]
# 2) CONVERT IT TO A SET AND THEN BACK INTO A LIST
my_list = list(set(my_list))
# 3) DONE!
print(my_list) #WILL PRINT: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
# removing duplicated from the list using naive methods
# initializing list
sam_list = [11, 13, 15, 16, 13, 15, 16, 11]
print ("The list is: " + str(sam_list))
# remove duplicated from list
result = []
for i in sam_list:
if i not in result:
result.append(i)
# printing list after removal
print ("The list after removing duplicates : " + str(result))

# removing duplicated from list
# using naive methods
# initializing list

# to remove duplicated
# from list
res = []
for i in test_list:
if i not in res:
res.append(i)
# printing list after removal
