Give me with example to find duplicates and display in List/ArrayList without using Set/Map implementation in java? Is it possible? Then how?

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because we are not living in the Stone Age. We have "Google" to look for some things. – TheLostMind Dec 04 '15 at 05:44

Of course it's possible. The most obvious solution isn't very efficient, but it generates the right answer:
List<String> input = ...
List<String> result = new ArrayList<>();
for (String item : input) {
if (!result.contains(item)) {
result.add(item);
}
}
But why would you want to do this? (Except perhaps to settle a stupid bet).
