How do I remove an element from a list by index in Python?

Question

How to remove an element from a list by index in Python, I tried list.remove method but it search the list and remove it but I don't want it to perform any search. How can I do this?

Answer 1

You can use del   , it also supports slices:

>>> q = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
>>> del a[-1]
>>> a
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Alternatively you can also use pop :

q = ['q', 'w', 'e', 'r']
q.pop()

# now q is ['q', 'w', 'e']
