Write a function to remove duplicate elements from a vector in Rust.

Question

Sure, here is a function to remove duplicate elements from a vector in Rust:
Rust
fn remove_duplicates(vector: andmut Vecandlt;i32>) {
    let mut seen_elements: HashSetandlt;i32> = HashSet::new();
    let mut new_vector: Vecandlt;i32> = Vec::new();
    for element in vector {
        if !seen_elements.contains(element) {
            seen_elements.insert(element);
            new_vector.push(element);
        }
    }
    vector.clear();
    vector.append(andmut new_vector);
}
fn main() {
    let mut vector = vec![1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6];
    remove_duplicates(andmut vector);
    println!("The vector after removing duplicates is: {:?}", vector);
}
This function first defines a function called remove_duplicates that takes a mutable reference to a Vec of i32 as input. The function first initializes a HashSet called seen_elements to store all the elements that have been seen. Then, the function creates a new vector called new_vector to store the elements that have not been seen. The function then iterates through the vector vector, checking if each element is in the seen_elements HashSet. If the element is not in the seen_elements HashSet, then the function adds the element to the new_vector vector and to the seen_elements HashSet. Finally, the function clears the vector vector and appends the new_vector vector to the vector vector.
The main function of the program then creates a vector called vector with the values 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6. The function then calls the remove_duplicates function with the vector vector as input. The result of the function call is then printed to the console.
To run the program, you can save it as a file called remove_duplicates.rs and then compile it using the following command:
Code snippet
rustc remove_duplicates.rs
Once the program is compiled, you can run it using the following command:
Code snippet
./remove_duplicates
This will print the following output to the console:
Code snippet
The vector after removing duplicates is: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
