delete duplicate in an Array

[rookTheCook]

Hi,
sorry to bother you with that.
is there any method available in java api to delete duplicates in an array? or do I have to write my own?
If I have to write my own, what'd be the best approach?

Thanks,

Arrays can not be shortened so what would you do with the duplicate elements that are supposedly removed from the array? Turn them into null values? Better turn your array into a List and feed that List to a Set (the last one can only contain unique elements). Finally turn that Set into a List again and voila.

Read the API documentation for the Collection framework and the Arrays utility class.
