Thanks for the input Ben and sture!  BTW, this is the first post I used the picture insertion.  I saw the instructions on a previous post.  I really like how well the community here supports each other.

sture,

The implementation shown has one drawback, it moves the first searched digit to the end of the final array.  I don't know if that would be acceptable since we were asked to just remove duplicates.  How can you prevent the reorder of the first searched digit to the end of the array?

" it moves the first searched digit to the end of the final array"

does getting rid of the "increment" after the loop help?

Thanks for the help, the order does not matter. I haven't had the chance to try it out yet - but it looks good!

[Tom Haggerty]

No, that needs to be there in order to get all the required points.

If I initialize the array with a zero rather than the first number in the original array AND remove the final increment, it does work -- unless zero is one of the elements!

I just had a thought about this. Instead of searching the newly created array for each element, search the original. If the index found is not equal to the current value of i, you have a duplicate. If it is equal to i, you found the first instance of the value and you replace an element in the new array. This way you can fill the new array with zeroes and the order will be preserved.

Here is a revision that I think will work.

Also, the OpenG library has a "Remove Duplicates From 1D Array".
