How do I use the pop() method in Python lists?

The pop() method removes and returns the last item from a list. You can also specify an index to remove an item from a specific position.

Can you show me an example of using pop()?

Sure! Here's an example:

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4]
item = my_list.pop()
print(item)  # Output: 4
print(my_list)  # Output: [1, 2, 3]

What happens if I use pop() on an empty list?

If you call pop() on an empty list, it will raise an IndexError because there are no items to remove.

Can I use pop() with an index?

Yes, you can specify an index. For example, my_list.pop(0) will remove and return the first item in the list.
