Interview question: Remove duplicate items from a list

One Python coding interview question that might crop up is how to remove duplicate items from a list. I have very quickly thought of three ways to easily accomplish this task in Python, and I will show them:-

2. Create a set to remove duplicate items from a list.

Removing duplicate items from a list using the dictionary method:-
