The remove method removes a specific item from a list, if that item is in the list. Some situations might require that you remove an element from a specific index, regardless of the item that is stored at that index. This can be accomplished with the del statement.
Example:
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print('Before
deletion:', my_list)
del
my_list[2]
print('After
deletion:', my_list)
This
code will display the following:
Before
deletion: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
