Question
(Print distinct numbers) Write a program that reads in numbers separated by a space in one line and displays distinct numbers (i.e., if a number appears multiple times, it is displayed only once). (Hint: Read all the numbers and store them in list1. Create a new list list2. Add a number in list1 to list2. If the number is already in the list, ignore it.) Here is the sample run of the program:
Enter ten numbers:1 2 3 2 1 6 3 4 5 2
The distinct numbers are: 1 2 3 6 4 5
Answer
Print distinct numbers Program code:
# Prompt the user to enter list separated by spaces
num = input("Enter ten numbers: ")
# Convert the input string to a list of list
list = [int(num) for num in num.split()]
# Create a new list to store distinct list
distinctNums = []
# Iterate over the list list
for number in list:
# Check if the number is already in the distinctNums list
if number not in distinctNums:
distinctNums.append(number)
# Display the distinct list
print("The distinct numbers are:", end=" ")
for number in distinctNums:
print(number, end=" ")
Executed Output:
Enter ten numbers: 1 2 3 2 1 6 3 4 5 2
The distinct numbers are: 1 2 3 6 4 5
