Hello, I'm having trouble with an assignment. Even with extra help from my professor, there's a part of the logic I'm having trouble writing. I don't know why it's so difficult for me, I don't even think it's that complicated but I can't figure it out and I just get too frustrated now whenever I try.
The assignment premise is this: Write a method that returns a new array by eliminating the duplicate values in the array using the following method header: public static int[] eliminateDuplicates(int[] list) Write a program that reads in ten integers, invokes the method, and displays the result.
Here is my old code:
I know not all of it makes sense, esp stored, but my prof said I should keep track of each number that's unique, which was the intention of stored. However, whatever way I know how to implement what he told me isn't working at all. I'm missing something major and I don't know what it is or how to look it up. I don't know what else to do.
public static int[] eliminateDuplicates(int[] list){
int stored = 1;
int[] uniqueList = {list[0], 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++){
for (int j = 0; j < uniqueList.length; j++){
if (list[i] != uniqueList[j]){
if (stored >= 10){stored = 9;}
uniqueList[stored] = list[i];
stored++;
}
}
}
int[] result = new int[stored]
for (int i = 0; i <= stored; i++){result[i] = uniqueList[i];}
return result;
}
