Python: Want to have something taken out of a list how do I do this in python 3?-CodePudding

Here is my code if that helps you answer the question

import random

Exlist = ['pl1', 'pl2']
Exvar = random.choice(Exlist)
print(Exvar)
Exlist = Exlist - list(Exvar)

I tried changing Exvar to a list

CodePudding user response：

Use remove(). For example,

import random

Exlist = ['pl1', 'pl2']
Exvar = random.choice(Exlist)
print(Exvar)
Exlist.remove(Exvar)

CodePudding user response：

In order to remove something from a list you can either remove() or pop() or possibly reconstruct the list omitting the element that's not required

CodePudding user response：

You can use remove() to remove item by content example:

Exlist.remove(Exvar)

You can use pop() to remove the last item or pass the index as parameter to remove specific item example:

Exlist.pop()
Exlist.pop(index)

You can also use del keyword to remove item by index example:

del Exlist[index]
