+# 0027 removeDuplicates ( L-B )
+
+## Problem
+Write a function that removes duplicate values from the given input.
+- If the input is an array, return a new array with unique values.
+- If the input is a string, return a new string with duplicate characters removed.
+- The original order must be preserved.
+
+## Solution
+```js
+function removeDuplicates(input) {
+    let unique = [];
+    for (let i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
+        if (!unique.includes(input[i])) {
+            unique.push(input[i]);
+        }
+    }
+    if(typeof(input) === "string"){
+       unique = unique.toString().replace(/,/g, '');
+    }
+    console.log(unique);
+    return unique;
+}
+```
+
+## Test Cases
+```js
+removeDuplicates([2, 4, 8, 4, 2, 6, 9, 2, 6, 8, 10]);
+// Output: [2, 4, 8, 6, 9, 10]
+
+removeDuplicates([1, 1, 1, 4, 0, 6, -2, 2, 6, 7, 10]);
+// Output: [1, 4, 0,  6, -2, 2, 7, 10]
+
+removeDuplicates("zoom");
+// Output: "zom"
+
+removeDuplicates("hello world");
+// Output: "helo wrd"
+```
+
+## How it works
+- Create an empty array called unique
+- Loop through each character or element in the input
+- Check if the current value already exists in unique
+- If it does not exist, we add it to unique
+- After the loop:
+- If the input is a string, we convert the array into a string
+- Remove commas using replace
+- Finally, return the result
