Study Notes

Removing an Element

Method 1 (Using pop()): Removes and returns the element at a specified index. If no index is provided, it removes the last element.
Example: numbers.pop(1) print(numbers) # Output: [1, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Method 2 (Using del): Deletes an element at a specific index or deletes a slice (range) of elements.
Example: del numbers[1] print(numbers) # Output: [1, 4, 5, 6]

del numbers[2:3] print(numbers) # Output: [1, 4]
