How to efficiently remove duplicates from an array without using Set

Question

I was asked to write my own implementation to remove duplicated values in an array. Here is what I have created. But after tests with 1,000,000 elements it took very long ti

Answer 1

This is simple way to sort the elements in the array

public class DublicatesRemove {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {

        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        System.out.println("enter size of the array");
        int l = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
        int[] a = new int[l];
        // insert elements in the array logic
        for (int i = 0; i < l; i++) 
        {
            System.out.println("enter a element");
            int el = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
            a[i] = el;
        }
        // sorting elements in the array logic
        for (int i = 0; i < l; i++) 
        {
            for (int j = 0; j < l - 1; j++) 
            {
                if (a[j] > a[j + 1])
                {
                    int temp = a[j];
                    a[j] = a[j + 1];
                    a[j + 1] = temp;
                }
            }
        }
        // remove duplicate elements logic
        int b = 0;
        a[b] = a[0];
        for (int i = 1; i < l; i++)
        {
            if (a[b] != a[i])
            {
                b++;
                a[b]=a[i];

            }

        }
        for(int i=0;i<=b;i++)
        {
            System.out.println(a[i]);
        }


    }
