Source Code

#! /usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

def userList():
    n = int(input("Please input the number of elements:  "))
    a = []
    for i in range(n):
        j = int(input("Please input the " + str(i + 1) + "th element: "))
        a.append(j)
    return a

a = userList()
print("The original list: ", a)
unique = []
for x in a:
    if x not in unique:
        unique.append(x)
