Remove duplicate Digits form the given integer

I have got my result based on below approach, but I'm not satisfied.

I want some other way and efficient manner to get the expected output.

Input:

112341

Output:

1234

No duplicates should be displayed in output and answer must be 1234.

My solution :

public class PrintUnique {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int result = printUniquNums(112341);
        System.out.println(result);
    }

    private static int printUniquNums(int num) {

        String nums =  Integer.toString(num);
        char [] ch = nums.toCharArray();
        Set<Character> store = new LinkedHashSet<>();

        String res = "";
        for (int i = 0; i < ch.length; i++){
            if (store.add(ch[i])){
                res += ch[i];
            }
        }
        return Integer.parseInt(res);
    }
 }

A little tweaks with Java lambdas and streams. Your code is also good.

public static void main(String[] args) {
        int result = printUniquNums(112341);
        System.out.println(result);
    }

    private static int printUniquNums(int num) {

        String nums =  Integer.toString(num);
        List<String> digits = List.of(nums.split(""));
        Set<String> uniqueDigits = new HashSet<>();
        String uniqueNum = digits.stream().filter(uniqueDigits::add).reduce(String::concat).orElse(""); // set add method returns true if value not present
        return Integer.parseInt(uniqueNum);
    }

Another approach, which doesn't use strings, implies to keep dividing the number by 10 to power the number's digits minus one and collect each digit from left to right in a Set, specifically a LinkedHashSet to maintain the insertion order. Then, using streams to rebuild the number without duplicate digits:

public static int uniqueNumber(int num) {
    int temp;
    Set<Integer> set = new LinkedHashSet<>();
    while (num > 10) {
        temp = (int) Math.pow(10, Math.ceil(Math.log10(num)) - 1);
        set.add(num / temp);
        num %= temp;
    }
    set.add(num);

    Integer[] digits = set.toArray(new Integer[set.size()]);
    return IntStream.range(0, digits.length)
            .map(i -> digits[i] * ((int) Math.pow(10, (digits.length - 1) - i)))
            .reduce(0, (a, b) -> a + b);
}

Output

1234

This is not more effecient in term of performance. But its fewer lines of code and easier to read which in most cases is more important.

    private static int printUniquNums(int num) {
        TreeSet<String> tree= new TreeSet<>();
        for (char c : Integer.toString(num).toCharArray()) {
            tree.add(String.valueOf(c));
        }
        return Integer.parseInt(String.join("", tree));
    }

Your method can be reimplemented using Stream API.

One of the simplest ways to do it is to create a stream of code points.

Then we need to apply distinct() to insure uniqueness of the stream elements. This operation utilizes a LinkedHashSet under the hood to reject duplicates and preserve the initial order.

And finally, apply a terminal operation collect() by making use StringBuilder as a container for performing mutable reduction.

private static int printUniquNums(int num) {
    
    String result = String.valueOf(num).codePoints() // generating a stream of code points
        .distinct()                              // ensure uniqueness
        .collect(StringBuilder::new,             // mutable container
                 StringBuilder::appendCodePoint, // defining how values should be accumulated in the container
                 StringBuilder::append)          // how to merge the containers obtained while executing the stream in parallel
        .toString();
    
    return Integer.parseInt(result);
}

Another way of achieving this is to map stream elements into String type and make use of the built-in collector joning() that will take care of the stream concatenation for as:

private static int printUniquNums(int num) {
    
    String result = String.valueOf(num).codePoints() // generating a stream of code points
        .distinct()                      // ensure uniqueness
        .map(Character::getNumericValue) // getting a numeric value from a code point
        .mapToObj(String::valueOf)       // creating a single-character string
        .collect(Collectors.joining());  // combining the strings together
    
    return Integer.parseInt(result);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    int result = printUniquNums(112341);
    System.out.println(result);
}

Output (for both solutions):

1234
