I see. So it isn't really a 'fix', but more a 'do my homework for me' :icon_wink:
You should read up on this.

// [3, 4, 3, 2, 8]

There is a handy function that does this in the stl, but I won't point you
to it. Notice that each adjacent elements are compared to, and if
the same then deleted. Try to emulate that.

yes something like that
