Why am i getting this error when trying to remove dupes from a list?
"TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable"
trying to remove duplicate valuse from a list
numbers=[5,2,1,7,2,4]
numbers.sort()
i=0
for item in numbers:
if i==len(numbers)-1:
break
elif item[i]==item[i+1]:
numbers.remove(item)
i+=1
Actually the problem is in your for loop it is not for removing duplicate numbers. i recommend that you must define a empty list in which you append elements one by one using loop and check if the element is already present in your list then don't append. here is the code:
numbers=[5,2,1,7,2,4]
numbers.sort()
sorted_num=[]
i=0
for i in range(0,len(numbers)-1):
if numbers[i] in sorted_num:
continue
else:
sorted_num.append(numbers[i])
i+=1
print (sorted_num)
# elif item[i]==item[i+1]:
# numbers.remove(item)
# i+=1
i only edited your piece of code
use set see more here
numbers=[5,2,1,7,2,4]
list(set(numbers))
[1, 2, 4, 5, 7]
Use dictionary:
numbers=[5,2,1,7,2,4,5,5,1]
numbers=list(dict.fromkeys(numbers))
print(numbers)
