Python program to remove duplicate elements from a Circular Linked List
#Represents the node of list.
#Represents the node of list.
class Node:

class CreateList:
#Declaring head and tail pointer as null.
def __init__(self):
self.head = Node(None);
self.tail = Node(None);
self.head.next = self.tail;
self.tail.next = self.head;
#This function will add the new node at the end of the list.
def add(self,data):
newNode = Node(data);
#Checks if the list is empty.
if self.head.data is None:
#If list is empty, both head and tail would point to new node.
self.head = newNode;
self.tail = newNode;
newNode.next = self.head;
else:
#tail will point to new node.
self.tail.next = newNode;
#New node will become new tail.
self.tail = newNode;
#Since, it is circular linked list tail will point to head.
self.tail.next = self.head;
#Removes duplicate from the list
def removeDuplicate(self):
#Current will point to head
current = self.head;
if(self.head == None):
print("List is empty");
else:
while(True):
#Temp will point to previous node of index.
temp = current;
#Index will point to node next to current
index = current.next;
while(index != self.head):
#If current node is equal to index data
if(current.data == index.data):
#Here, index node is pointing to the node which is duplicate of current node
#Skips the duplicate node by pointing to next node
temp.next = index.next;
else:
#Temp will point to previous node of index.
temp = index;
index= index.next;
current =current.next;
if(current.next == self.head):

#Displays all the nodes in the list
def display(self):
current = self.head;
if self.head is None:
print("List is empty");

else:
#Prints each node by incrementing pointer.
print(current.data);
while(current.next != self.head):

print("\n");
class CircularLinkedList:
cl = CreateList();
#Adds data to the list
cl.add(1);
cl.add(2);
cl.add(3);
cl.add(2);
cl.add(2);
cl.add(4);
print("Originals list: ");
cl.display();
#Removes duplicate nodes
cl.removeDuplicate();
print("List after removing duplicates: ");
cl.display();
Output:
Originals list:
1 2 3 2 2 4
List after removing duplicates:
1 2 3 4
