Using the pop() Method to Remove an Item
There  are  situations  where  you  want  to  use  an  item  value  after  removing  it  from  the  list.  For
instance,  you  want  to  know  the  coordinates  of  the  bird  you  shot,  to  enable  you  to  draw  an
explosion in such a position. The function of the pop()method is to remove the last item in the list.
For clarity, let us pop an example.
kitchen_item = [“pot,” “kettle,” “fridge,” “dishwasher,” “microwave,” “knife,” “bowls”]
print(kitchen_item)
popped.kitchen_item = kitchen_item.pop()
print(kitchen_item)
print(popped.kitchen_item
I won’t explain the first two lines since you are already conversant with it. However, if you forget,
I will refresh your memory. The first line begins by declaring “kitchen_item” as a variable with
values  including  pop,  kettle,  fridge,  dishwasher,  microwave,  knife,  and  bowls.  The  second  line
prints out the items in the kitchen_item list.
In  the  third  line,  we  popped  a  value  from  our  list  and  store  the  value  to  the  new  variable
“popped.kitchen_item”  additionally,  we  print  out  the  remaining  items  in  the  kitchen_item  list.
From the code above, our output will be:
[“pot,” “kettle,” “fridge,” “dishwasher,” “microwave,” “knife,” “bowls”]
[“pot,” “kettle,” “fridge,” “dishwasher,” “microwave,” “knife”]
bowls
The  first  line  shows  the  complete  kitchen_items,  whereas  the  second  shows  the  remaining  items
after the popped method was used. Finally, line three shows the item removed from our list.
