Remove List Items

In Python, you have several methods for removing items from a list. Here are some common ways to remove list items:

remove()

Using the remove() method to remove a specific item from the list:

# Creating a list
my_list = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date']

# Removing a specific item using remove()
my_list.remove('banana')

print(my_list)  # Output: ['apple', 'cherry', 'date']
                
             

pop() method

Using the pop() method to remove an item at a specific index and return it:

# Creating a list
my_list = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date']

# Removing an item at a specific index using pop()
removed_item = my_list.pop(1)

print(removed_item)  # Output: 'banana'

print(my_list)         # Output: ['apple', 'cherry', 'date']
              
             

del()

Using the del statement to remove an item at a specific index:

# Creating a list
my_list = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date']

# Removing an item at a specific index using del
del my_list[1]

print(my_list)  # Output: ['apple', 'cherry', 'date']
