Array searching

[rewclaus]

Me again. Now that I've figured out a way to add 3 numbers from one set to an array (say arr[60]), 20 numbers from another set to the array, and 36 numbers from yet a third set to the array (and solved my infinite loop problem), I have encountered (what I think may be the last) another problem. I would like to search the array to see if there are any triplicates of numbers from any of the sets. If there are triplicates of any number I would like to delete one of the numbers and add a new random number.

Please if anyone could help me on this it would be greatly appreciated. Again if this questoion is unclear, let me know and I will try to sauce it up a bit.

Well you could sort the array, which would make finding duplicates easier (they would be adjacent to one another).

Or you could produce a histogram of values, and delete the first instance(s) of whatever numbers appear more times than you want.
