Have a got list of string "ABC,ABC,XYZ,DEF,ABC,DEF". Is there a way to consolidate the common string values and output as one? Hence output "ABC,XYZ,DEF,".
Same for arrarys. Is there a way to consolidate the common values?
["ABC,ABC,XYZ,DEF,ABC,DEF"]
Answers
Yes, you can achieve this consolidation of common string values using Python. Here's how you can do it:
For a string:
string_list = "ABC,ABC,XYZ,DEF,ABC,DEF"
unique_values = set(string_list.split(","))
consolidated_string = ",".join(unique_values)
print(consolidated_string)
For an array:
array = ["ABC","ABC","XYZ","DEF","ABC","DEF"]
unique_values = set(array)
consolidated_array = list(unique_values)
print(consolidated_array)
In both cases, we first split the string or use the array to create a list of individual elements. Then, we convert this list into a set, which automatically removes duplicates. Finally, we convert the set back into a list (if necessary) or a string, depending on the desired output format.
