Remove Duplicate Characters from a String

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

void remove_duplicates(char *str)
{
    // Your logic here
    char *fwd = (str + 1);
    char *temp_str = str;
    char *temp_fwd;

    while (*str != '\0')
    {

        if (*str == *fwd)
        {
            temp_fwd = fwd+1;
            while (*fwd != '\0')
            {
                *fwd = *(fwd + 1);
                if (*fwd == '\0'){
                    break; 
                }
                ++fwd;
