Python List Traversal Exercise: Handling Duplicates and Unequal List Lengths

Today I worked on a Python logic exercise focused on list traversal, duplicate handling, and comparing two lists of different lengths using pure loops. 🔹 What this code does: Takes two lists with different lengths, both containing repeated numbers Iterates through them safely using index-based nested loops Collects common elements while preserving order Removes duplicate values manually, without using built-in shortcuts like set() 🔹 Why I approached it this way: Instead of relying on Python conveniences, I deliberately used: Explicit for loops Conditional logic Intermediate lists This forced me to think about: Boundary conditions when list sizes don’t match How duplicates are detected step by step Writing logic that doesn’t assume equal input sizes 🔹 Key takeaway: Understanding fundamentals—especially edge cases like unequal input lengths—builds stronger problem-solving skills than jumping straight to optimized one-liners. Consistent practice, steady improvement. 💻📈 #Python #Programming #LogicBuilding #DataStructures #ProblemSolving #CodingPractice

Great work by the way which theme is this??.Looks very awesome.
