Python program to remove duplicate elements from a Doubly Linked List
#Represent a node of doubly linked list
class Node:
def __init__(self,data):
self.data = data;
self.previous = None;
self.next = None;
class RemoveDuplicate:
#Represent the head and tail of the doubly linked list
def __init__(self):
self.head = None;
self.tail = None;
#addNode() will add a node to the list
def addNode(self, data):
#Create a new node
newNode = Node(data);
#If list is empty
if(self.head == None):
#Both head and tail will point to newNode
self.head = self.tail = newNode;
#head's previous will point to None
self.head.previous = None;
#tail's next will point to None, as it is the last node of the list
self.tail.next = None;
else:
#newNode will be added after tail such that tail's next will point to newNode
self.tail.next = newNode;
#newNode's previous will point to tail
newNode.previous = self.tail;
#newNode will become new tail
self.tail = newNode;
#As it is last node, tail's next will point to None
self.tail.next = None;
#removeDuplicateNode() will remove duplicate nodes from the list
def removeDuplicateNode(self):
#Checks whether list is empty
if(self.head == None):
return;
else:
#Initially, current will point to head node
current = self.head;
while(current != None):
#index will point to node next to current
index = current.next
while(index != None):
if(current.data == index.data):
#Store the duplicate node in temp
temp = index;
#index's previous node will point to node next to index thus, removes the duplicate node
index.previous.next = index.next;
if(index.next != None):
index.next.previous = index.previous;
#Delete duplicate node by making temp to None
temp = None;
index = index.next;
current = current.next;
#display() will print out the nodes of the list
def display(self):
#Node current will point to head
current = self.head;
if(self.head == None):
print("List is empty");
return;
while(current != None):
#Prints each node by incrementing pointer.
print(current.data),
current = current.next;
print();
dList = RemoveDuplicate();
#Add nodes to the list
dList.addNode(1);
dList.addNode(2);
dList.addNode(3);
dList.addNode(2);
dList.addNode(2);
dList.addNode(4);
dList.addNode(5);
dList.addNode(3);
print("Originals list: ");
dList.display();
#Removes duplicate nodes
dList.removeDuplicateNode();
print("List after removing duplicates: ");
dList.display();
Output:
Originals list:
1 2 3 2 2 4 5 3
List after removing duplicates:
1 2 3 4 5
