Learning Python: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners to Coding with Python with Useful Tools

Removing Elements
There are situations that may warrant you to remove an item in a list. For
instance,  a  player  may  decide  to  remove  a  bird;  he  shoots  down  from  the
sky from the active list. Perhaps, you want to delete a customer’s account or
cancel their account. You can remove such detail from the list. You can use
the following two ways to remove elements in a list.
Remove Items Using del Statement
Python provides a unique way of removing or deleting an item if you know
the position of such an item from the list. Look at the code below:
kitchen_item  =  [“pot,”  “kettle,”  “fridge,”  “dishwasher,”  “microwave,”
“knife,” “bowls”]
print(kitchen_item)
del kitchen_item [4]

---

print(kitchen_item)
What did you think will be deleted from the snippet above? If your answer
is a dishwasher, then you are wrong. Remember that Python index begins at
0.  This  means  we  start  counting  0  from  the  first  element.  Therefore,  the
final output will be:
[“pot,” “kettle,” “dishwasher,” “microwave,” “knife,” “bowls”]
You can remove any item from the position of your choice.
