Write a function remove_ duplicates that removes elements from a list. For the
purpose of this problem, a duplicated element is any element which appears
exactly twice. You may assume all elements in the list are hashable.
For example:
list1 = ["hi", 1, 2, 3, 3, "hi", "hi", 1, 6]
result = remove_duplicates(list1)
print(result)
print(list1)
Should print the resulting lists:
["hi", 2, "hi", "hi", 6]
["hi", 1, 2, 3, 3, "hi", "hi", 1, 6]
Note that the original list is unchanged, meaning that your function should create and return a new list. Also, the order of elements in the output list should be preserved, besides the removal of the duplicates. When you are ready (once you have simulated by hand and tested on your own machine and are convinced that your program will do the right thing), upload your file below for testing:
