Example 1: delete all elements in list python

# []
Example 2: python how to remove elements from a list
# Basic syntax:
my_list.remove(element)
# Note, .remove(element) removes the first matching element it finds in
# the list.
# Example usage:
animals = ['cat', 'dog', 'rabbit', 'guinea pig', 'rabbit']
animals.remove('rabbit')
print(animals)
--> ['cat', 'dog', 'guinea pig', 'rabbit'] # Note only 1st instance of
# rabbit was removed from the list.
# Note, if you want to remove all instances of an element, convert the
# list to a set and back to a list, and then run .remove(element) E.g.:
animals = list(set['cat', 'dog', 'rabbit', 'guinea pig', 'rabbit']))
animals.remove('rabbit')
print(animals)
--> ['cat', 'dog', 'guinea pig']
Example 3: deleting a list in python

Example 4: python remove
# the list.remove(object) method takes one argument
# the object or element value you want to remove from the list
# it removes the first coccurence from the list
generic_list = [1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 8, 8, 8]
generic_list.remove(1)
# The Generic list will now be:
# [2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 8, 8, 8]
