Let us assume you are given a list and you need to remove all the duplicate elements from the list. One common way to remove duplicates from a list is to use the set() function.
We can simply convert the list to a set and then convert the set back to a list so that we are still working with a list.

If you are implementing a new class, but do not have time now, or simply want to postpone it for later, then you can use the pass statement.
I have seen it being used all over the place, and I think it is a good idea to use it when you are writing a class that does not have any bodies of any methods, or when you are implementing a class that is not yet complete.
You can use it to do test-driven development when you initially write a failing test that calls a method that is not implemented yet, which you can then implement and fix the failing test.
Another scenario when I saw it being used was in coding assignments that are part of homework.

Sometimes, you may need to check whether a list has any duplicate elements. This can be a common task when you are given a list of numbers or a list of strings. This can also be something that you may need to do both at work, or it can also be part of a coding challenge that you are implementing when being asked at a programming interview.

When you are given a dictionary, you can do a lot of things with both its keys and its values. From time to time, you may need to do some sort of comparison based on the values of the dictionary. This can include finding the largest value, the smallest value, the sum of all the values, etc.

Many programming interview questions have something to do with working with indexes. You may also be dealing with tasks at work that can have something to do with indexes.
One such task can be doing different splits and formattings of text files based on an index of a specific character.
Let us assume that you are asked to remove part of a string based on a certain index in a string.
