Best algorithm for delete duplicates in array of strings

Question

Today at school the teacher asked us to implement a duplicate-deletion algorithm. It\'s not that difficult, and everyone came up with the following solution (pseudocode):

Answer 1

def dedup(l):
    ht, et = [(None, None) for _ in range(len(l))], []
    for e in l:
        h, n = hash(e), h % len(ht)
        while True:
            if ht[n][0] is None:
                et.append(e)
                ht[n] = h, len(et) - 1
            if ht[n][0] == h and et[ht[n][1]] == e:
                break
            if (n := n + 1) == len(ht):
                n = 0
    return et
