Exercise: Function: uniq()

Write a function uniq() that takes a sequence as input. It returns a list with duplicate elements removed, and where the contained elements appear in the same order that is present in the input sequence. The input sequence remains unmodified.

The program structure could be something like follows …

def uniq(l):
    # ... here a miracle has to happen ...
    return ... # the uniq-ified list

input_list = [2, 3, 1, 10, 3, 3, 1, 10, 5, 2]
output_list = uniq(input_list)

for element in output_list:
    print(element)

The expected program output is as follows:

$ python uniq.py
2
3
1
10
5
