# Delete Duplicates
* **Objective**
* To write methods which remove duplicate elements from an array.
* **Purpose**
* To demonstrate practical understanding of arrays, loops, and basic composition.
* **Instructions**
* The `IntegerDuplicateDeleter` and `StringDuplicateDeleter` both inherit from the abstract class `DuplicateDeleter`. The `DuplicateDeleter` class has two required methods that the IntegerDuplicateDeleter and StringDuplicateDeleter need to implement. You need to add the two methods into the two classes and add a constructor to call the `DuplicateDeleter` method to make your code compile.
* Given an object, `IntegerDuplicateDeleter`, with a composite `Integer[]` object, write a method
* `removeDuplicatesExactly` which removes all values in the array which occur exactly the specified number of times.
* `removeDuplicates` which removes all values in the array which occur at least the specified number of times.
* Given an object, `StringDuplicateDeleter`, with a composite `String[]` object, write a method
* `removeDuplicatesExactly` which removes all values in the array which occur exactly the specified number of times.
* `removeDuplicates` which removes all values in the array which occur at least the specified number of times.
* **Restrictions**
* No use of any built-in data structures, (`Collection`, `List`, `Map`)
* Operations should be [idempotent](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1077412/what-is-an-idempotent-operation)
* If the input is the same, then the outputs of the methods should **always** be the same, regardless of how many times the method is called.
## `removeDuplicateExactly(n)`
### Example 1
* Sample Script
```
// : Given
Integer[] array = new Integer[]{1, 1, 1, 23, 23, 56, 57, 58};
DuplicateDeleter deleter = new IntegerDuplicateDeleter(array);
// : When
Integer[] actual = deleter.removeDuplicateExactly(3);
// : Then
Integer[] expected = new Integer[]{23, 23, 56, 57, 58};
assertArrayEquals(expected, actual);
```
### Example 2
* Sample Script
```
// : Given
Integer[] array = new Integer[]{1, 1, 1, 23, 23, 56, 57, 58};
DuplicateDeleter deleter = new IntegerDuplicateDeleter(array);
// : When
Integer[] actual = deleter.removeDuplicateExactly(1);
// : Then
Integer[] expected = {1, 1, 1, 23, 23};
assertArrayEquals(expected, actual);
```
### Example 3
* Sample Script
```
// : Given
Integer[] array = new Integer[]{0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5};
DuplicateDeleter deleter = new IntegerDuplicateDeleter(array);
// : When
Integer[] actual = deleter.removeDuplicateExactly(3);
// : Then
Integer[] expected = {1, 1, 2, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5};
assertArrayEquals(expected, actual);
```
## `removeDuplicates(n)`
### Example 1
* Sample Script
```
// : Given
Integer[] array = new Integer[]{1,1,1,23,23,56,57,58};
DuplicateDeleter deleter = new IntegerDuplicateDeleter(array);
// : When
Integer[] actual = deleter.removeDuplicateExactly(1);
// : Then
Integer[] expected = {};
assertArrayEquals(expected, actual);
```
### Example 2
* Sample Script
```
// : Given
Integer[] array = new Integer[]{0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5};
DuplicateDeleter deleter = new IntegerDuplicateDeleter(array);
// : When
Integer[] actual = deleter.removeDuplicates(2);
// : Then
Integer[] expected = {2};
assertArrayEquals(expected, actual);
```
### Example 3
* Sample Script
```
// : Given
Integer[] array = new Integer[]{0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5};
DuplicateDeleter deleter = new IntegerDuplicateDeleter(array);
// : When
Integer[] actual = deleter.removeDuplicates(3);
// : Then
Integer[] expected = {1, 1, 2, 4, 4};
assertArrayEquals(expected, actual);
```
