What is the difference between remove() and pop() in Python?

Can you explain the difference between remove() and pop() in Python?

Sure! The remove() method removes the first occurrence of a specified value from a list, while pop() removes an item at a specified index and returns it.

What happens if the value isn't found when using remove()?

If the value isn't found, remove() raises a ValueError. In contrast, pop() will raise an IndexError if the index is out of range.

Can you give me an example of both methods?

Of course! For remove(), if you have my_list = [1, 2, 3] and call my_list.remove(2), it will result in [1, 3]. For pop(), if you call my_list.pop(0), it will return 1 and my_list will be [2, 3].

Are there any performance differences between the two?

Yes, remove() has to search through the list to find the value, which can be slower for large lists. pop() is generally faster if you are removing from the end of the list.
