arrays

[Mike P]

I have a collection of objects that may have duplicates in it. What I
want to do is to iterate through the list and only add the non
duplicates to an array, so as I am adding to the array, I need some way
of checking against the current contents of the array. Is this
possible, or is there a better way to do this?

There's no shortcut. You need to do a nested loop.


start loop through collection
within the collection loop, loop through the array checking to see if object
already exists.
if not, add the object to the array and move to the next object

Do you need more detail than that? if so, we sill need more details.
