I want to remove duplicate records. But the record might not be entirely

previous or the last entry. I have written something like below to

this.
You don't need two loops for that, just one:
Two loops are required since the specification is to print the last
entry (that's a duplicate) in the file, not the first.
Are you sure that "remove the previous or the last entry" translates into
"print the last entry (that's a duplicate)"? Did you check with the OP on that?
