I have found a better way to do this, so that's not my main issue. I'm trying to just determine why what I have below here doesn't work and I just can't. Any advice?

def removeDuplicates(l):
    for item in l:
        while l.count(item) > 1:
            l.remove(item)
    return l

Thanks!

    Mutating the list while iterating over it. Also, strange indentation. – jarmod Feb 17 '22 at 19:10
  • I figured that was the problem, that I was changing the list while editing it, but it seemed to work for a few test cases I tried. Why exactly doesn't it work? – Glenn Habibi Feb 18 '22 at 16:10
