I am making a program based on string processing in Java in which I need to remove duplicate strings from a string array. In this program, the size of all strings are same.
The 'array' which is a string array contains a number of strings in which two strings resemble each other. So using the below code the duplicate string must get removed but it is not removed.
How to remove the duplicate strings?
I am using the following code.
for(int s=0;s<array.length-1;s++)
{
for(int m=0;m<array.length;m++)
{
for(int n=0;n<array[m].length();n++)
{
if(array[s].charAt(n)==array[m].charAt(n))
{
continue;
}
else
break;
}
if(n==array[m].length())
{
ArrayUtils.removeElement(array, array[s]);
}
}
This will work
array = new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList(array)).toArray(new String[0]);
or just use a HashSet
instead of an array.
