Question

 

Given a string with duplicate characters in it. Write a program to generate a list that only contains the duplicate characters. In other words, your new list should contain the characters which appear more than once.

Suggested Approach

  • Used two nested for loops.
  • The first for loop iterates from 0 to range(len(input_str)).
  • The second for loop iterates from first_loop_index + 1 to range(len(input_str)). The reason you want to start at first_loop_index + 1 in the nested inner loop is that the outer loop already checks the current character. In the nested inner loop, you want to check the remaining characters in the input string.
  • If the current character of the outer loop matches the character of the nested loop AND the character is not already IN the duplicate list, append it to the list
