列出删除 Python 中的重复项

Question

I'm having trouble getting my code to run. Any idea what is wrong with my code?

from random import randint
a=[]
b=[]
dup_list=[]
nodup_list=[]
for n in range (0,10):
    a.append(randint(0,20))
    b.append(randint(0,20))
print a, "\n"
print b, "\n"

for m in range(0, len(a)-1):
    if a[m] in b:
        dup_list.append(a[m])
    else:
        nodup_list.append(a[m])

for o in range(0,len(b)-1):
    if b[o] in a:
        b.remove(b[o])
nodup_list.append(b)

print dup_list, "\n"
print nodup_list,"\n"

I keep getting the error: [5, 17, 11, 18, 11, 20, 7, 16, 14, 14]

[Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/Apple/Desktop/Python/python projects/practice_python/exercise14.py", line 29, in 5, 3, 7, 8, 11, 18, 14, 9, 6, 18]

if b[o] in a:

IndexError: list index out of range

Any ideas why?

It's recommended in the python documentation to create a new list instead of iterating while removing. The index is out of bounds because the list is shortened during iteration and so the index becomes greater than or equal to its size.
