Dear Monks,br>
I am supposed to create a unique array based on a non-unique one. Problem is that I am not supposed to use hashes of built-in modules (I know, I know, but it's for educational purposes!!).
What I thought I could do is to sort the array and then somehow, since the elements would be "next" to each other, remove the duplicates.
my @array_q3=(); #create the array to store all words in the file
open INFILE3, "<file";
while( my $line3 = <INFILE3>)
{
chomp $line3;
push @array_q3, $line3;
}
close INFILE;
#sort the array so we can identify the duplicates
my @sorted_array_q3 = sort(@array_q3);
print "@sorted_array_q3\n";
but my problem is that I can't understand how I can remove the duplicates now...
Tips?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
