RemoveDuplicates

# Basic Python Syntax and Data Structures

# Question: Write a Python function that takes a list of integers and returns a list with only the unique elements (i.e., remove duplicates).
# Example: Input: [1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5], Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].

# inputs: list of integers
# outputs: list of integers (no dupicates)

    for element in int_array:
        element_str = str(element)
        if element_str not in duplicatesBuffer:
            duplicatesBuffer[element_str] = True
            array_noDuplicates.append(element)
            
        # print(element)
