To deduplicate lists, or remove duplicate elements, you can use various methods depending on the programming language you are using. Here are some common approaches in Python:

Method 1: Using a Set​

A set automatically removes duplicates because it only stores unique elements.

Method 2: Using a Loop and a Temporary List​

This method maintains the order of elements.

Method 3: Using List Comprehension​

Combines the set approach with list comprehension for a concise solution.

Summary​

• Set: Fastest but does not maintain order.
• Loop with Temporary List: Maintains order, slower than a set.
• List Comprehension with dict.fromkeys(): Maintains order, concise and efficient.
• Pandas: Best for large datasets, maintains order.

Choose the method that best fits your needs based on the importance of maintaining order and the size of your dataset.
