We would like to know how to remove the duplicate in an array and sorting a string array.

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String[] s = {"a", "y", "x","a","d", "y","m","a","bc"};
    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(s));
    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(clean(s)));
  }

  public static String[] clean(String[] input) {
    Set<String> unique = new TreeSet<>(Arrays.asList(input));
    return unique.toArray(new String[unique.size()]);
  }
