Note that a set is a list without duplicates.

def remove_duplicates(inList):
   """ Remove duplicates from a list. """
   return list(set(inList))

Hello

Thank you for the email.
Yes I think I was reading the problem wrong but I did write the code and it 
works fine.  Problem two is a problem however.

I couldn't remember what a mode was so I looked at:

http://www.mathgoodies.com/lessons/vol8/mode.html

It would seem that both problems have to do with counting the numbers of
identical elements in a set or list.  Can you write a programme to do that
as a start?

hello all,

I have 2 questions on my homework assignment that i cannot figure out.

1. write a function that will return the mode for a data set.  A data set
is
a variable that contains more then one word.
2. Write a function called remove_duplicates that takes a list and returns 


a
new list with only the unique elements from the original. Hint: they don't 
have to be in the same order.

any help will be greatly appreciated.
Edward
