Implement the function unique_in_order which takes as argument a sequence and returns a list of items without any elements with the same value next to each other and preserving the original order of elements. | |
For example: | |
unique_in_order('AAAABBBCCDAABBB') == ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'A', 'B'] | |
unique_in_order('ABBCcAD') == ['A', 'B', 'C', 'c', 'A', 'D'] | |
unique_in_order([1,2,2,3,3]) == [1,2,3] | |
""" | |
def unique_in_order(iterable): | |
ll = [] | |
for x in iterable: | |
if len(ll) == 0: | |
ll.append(x) | |
if ll[-1] != x: | |
ll.append(x) | |
return ll | |
iterable='AAAABBBCCDAABBB'#), ['A','B','C','D','A','B']) | |
