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]
