How to remove an element from a list by index

Question

How do I remove an element from a list by index in Python?

I found the list.remove method, but say I want to remove the last element, how do I do this?

Answer 1

Use the del statement:

del listName[-N]

For example, if you want to remove the last 3 items, your code should be:

del listName[-3:]

For example, if you want to remove the last 8 items, your code should be:

del listName[-8:]
