How do I remove an item from a list in Python?

How do I remove an item from a list in Python?

You can use the remove() method to remove an item by value or the pop() method to remove by index.

Can you show me an example using remove()?

Sure! Here's an example:

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

What if the item I want to remove is not in the list?

If the item is not in the list, remove() will raise a ValueError. You can check if the item exists first.

How can I safely remove an item without causing an error?

You can use an if statement to check if the item is in the list before removing it:

if item in my_list:
    my_list.remove(item)
