remove last element 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: how to remove last item from list python

even_numbers = [2,4,6,8,10,12,15]	# 15 is an odd number
# if you wanna remove 15 from the list 
even_numbers.pop()
