The del Statement

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]
After deletion: [1, 2, 4, 5]
