Um, this should be simple for anyone who is familiar with logic, or the use of their brain. What have you tried? I feel this is only HW. Goodluck keeping a real job.

Solution 2

Distinct extension method of IEnumerable Interface can be used for this purpose.

C#

string[] Countries = {
    "India", "Pakistan", "United States of America", "Germany",
    "Pakistan", "England", "Ireland", "India"};
var query = Countries.Distinct();
var distinctCountries = query.ToArray();

The IEqualityComparer<T> parameter can be supplied for controlling comparison of strings.

I only fixed the spelling and capitalization for the 3rd country (pun unintended :-) and formatting of the generic declaration -- you probably forgot to escape angular brackets using HTML character entities < and >. By the way, the menu item "encode" on top of text area helps to do that.

The answer itself got my 5; I think this kind of extension methods is an elegant thing.
After all, who needs yet another India and one more Pakistan? :-)

Thank you very much, SA, for correction and your comment. Thank you for the suggestion regarding HTML character entities.

Essentially, exact same thing as the one written by VJ; my 5, too.
