const names = ['John', 'Paul', 'George', 'Ringo', 'John'];

let unique = [...new Set(names)];
console.log(unique); // 'John', 'Paul', 'George', 'Ringo'// 1. filter()
function removeDuplicates(array) {
  return array.filter((a, b) => array.indexOf(a) === b)
};
// 2. forEach()
function removeDuplicates(array) {
  let x = {};
  array.forEach(function(i) {
    if(!x[i]) {
      x[i] = true
    }
  })
  return Object.keys(x)
};
// 3. Set
function removeDuplicates(array) {
  array.splice(0, array.length, ...(new Set(array)))
};
// 4. map()
function removeDuplicates(array) {
  let a = []
  array.map(x => 
    if(!a.includes(x) {
      a.push(x)
    })
