Re: Saving array duplicates, not using a hash?

Is that even possible?
Absolutely, that chapter should have taught you how. Here's some pseudo code

for each ELEMENT of ARRAY
    if ELEMENT found in OTHERARRAY then
       print ELEMENT
    else
       add ELEMENT to OTHERARRAY
       calculate raise
       ...
    endif
endfor
...

guess what, the part that checks for duplicates without hashes looks exactly like this first :)

1. I don't understand what I would use for OTHERARRAY? 2. The if compares to a single element in OTHERARRAY right? How would I get at the single element unless I use another for loop to cycle through it?	[reply]

1. I don't understand what I would use for OTHERARRAY? Something like @OTHERARRAY or @SOMETHING, @POOPS, @MCGEE, @FOO, @BAR, @BAZ, @MOO, @SHOO, @GCTAYLOR1, @ELEMENTSSEENALREADY... :) understand? ARRAY is one name, OTHERARRAY is another. 2. The if compares to a single element in OTHERARRAY right? How would I get at the single element unless I use another for loop to cycle through it? Almost, it compares to every single element in OTHERARRAY, and you use another loop for that. Loops are the basis for computers (everything is a loop, from RAM to CPU). Its one of those fundamental you must master, so stick to it and it will stick to you :) foreach String comparison After you've got that loop version working, next step is to do it without an explicit loop. You'll be using index and join :)	[reply]
