remove_duplicates

Language/Type: Python set list collections

Write a function named remove_duplicates that accepts as a parameter a list of integers, and modifies it by removing any duplicates. Note that the elements of the list are not in any particular order, so the duplicates might not occur consecutively. You should retain the original relative order of the elements. Use a set as auxiliary storage to help you solve this problem. For example, if a list named v stores [4, 0, 2, 9, 4, 7, 2, 0, 0, 9, 6, 6], the call of remove_duplicates(v) should modify it to store [4, 0, 2, 9, 7, 6].

Function: Write a Python function as described, not a complete program.
