How to remove an object from a list in Python?
You can use 3 different methods to remove an object from a list in Python. They are remove, del and pop. You can use them as follows −
The remove method removes the first value matching the argument to remove from the list, not a specific index.
example
a = [3, 2, 3, 2]
a.remove(3)
print(a)
Output
This will give the output −
[2, 3, 2]
The del method removes a specific index from the list.
example
a = [3, "Hello", 2, 1]
del a[1]
print(a)
Output
This will give the output −
[3, 2, 1]
The pop method returns the removed element. The argument to pop is the index you want to remove.
Example
a = [3, "Hello", 2, 1]
print(a.pop(1))
print(a)
Output
This will give the output −
"Hello"
[3, 2, 1]
