With a lot of hard work. Think about how you would do it, and tell us your ideas.

Good luck with it. If you get part of it right, post what you have and we'll be happy to look at it.

Shiaber,

I'm curious about why you don't want to use a Set. It seems like the easiest way to go about removing duplicates.

John.

People are sometimes given assignments or exercises which tell them to avoid the easy or obvious way to do things

i didnt want to use sets as i had to do an additional thing while removing duplicates and that cant be done if i remove duplicates using sets. i found some algorithm from net to remove duplicates and enhanced it in the way i wanted.

thanks,

I tried in a different method by removing duplicates in the orig. list. It didnt work. I got the below algorithm from net and changed to my need.
