PHP Exercises: Remove duplicates from a sorted list

PHP: Exercise-35 with Solution

Write a PHP program to remove duplicates from a sorted list.

Input: (1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5)
Output: (1,2,3,4,5)

Sample Solution:

PHP Code:

<?php
// Function to remove duplicates from a list and return unique values
function remove_duplicates_list($list1) {
    // Use array_unique to get unique values and array_values to re-index the array
    $nums_unique = array_values(array_unique($list1));
    return $nums_unique;
}

// Example usage with an array containing duplicate values
$nums = array(1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5);
// Call the function and print the result
print_r(remove_duplicates_list($nums));

?>

Sample Output:

Array                                                       
(                                                           
    [0] => 1                                                
    [1] => 2                                                
    [2] => 3                                                
    [3] => 4                                                
    [4] => 5                                                
)
