pop last item from list python code example

Example 1: how to delete the last item in a list python

# The pop function, without an input, defaults to removing 
# and returning the last item in a list.
myList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
myList.pop()
print(myList)

# You can also do this without returning the last item, but it is
# much more complicated.
myList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
myList.remove(myList[len(myList)-1])
print(myList)

Example 2: python pop element

my_list = [123, 'Add', 'Grepper', 'Answer']
my_list.pop()
-->[123, 'Add', 'Grepper'] #last element is removed

my_list = [123, 'Add', 'Grepper', 'Answer']
my_list.pop(0)
-->['Add', 'Grepper', 'Answer'] #first element is removed

my_list = [123, 'Add', 'Grepper', 'Answer']
any_index_of_the_list = 2
my_list.pop(any_index_of_the_list)
-->[123, 'Add', 'Answer'] #element at index 2 is removed 
						  #(first element is 0)
