[Tutor] Removing duplicates in a list with a fixed length of items in the list.

I have a list which comprises of simple random arithmetic problems for teachers to give to their pupils. This list must be a set length (if the teacher asks for 10 questions, they should get 10 questions), but should not have any duplicates. I've seen the use of sets, but this reduces the size of

Why not sorting the items and throw out all multiples until you reach the fixed length ? Klaus Ramelow ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
