Using Pointers to Remove Duplicates.

bridgster (20)
So I am having a hard time understanding how to alter my code..
the prompt is:

Return a new dynamic array where all repeated letters are deleted instead of modifying the partially filled array.

Was wondering if I could get any pointers.... haha, bad pun I know.
