26. Remove Duplicates from Sorted Array Leetcode Python

Given a sorted array, remove the duplicates in place such that each element appear only once and return the new length.


Do not allocate extra space for another array, you must do this in place with constant memory.


For example,
Given input array A = [1,1,2],

Your function should return length = 2, and A is now [1,2].

1.定义一个count指针,index 指针

2.当重复的时候index 增加

3.当不重复的时候A[]count= A[index]

1. need two pointers one count another index

2. when duplicated index+=1

when no duplicated A[count]=A[index]

code is as follow

class Solution:
    # @param a list of integers
    # @return an integer
    def removeDuplicates(self, A):
        count=0
        if len(A)<=1:
            return len(A)
        index=1
        count=0
        while index<len(A):
            if A[count]==A[index]:
                index+=1
            else:
                count+=1
                A[count]=A[index]
                index+=1
        return count+1
