Python list pop

In this article, you’ll see the Python list pop method. The pop method is used to remove an element from a list. The Python list pop method takes only one argument. If you don’t specify any index position in the argument then it will remove the last element. I highly recommend you get the “Python Crash Course Book” to learn Python.

Remove the 2nd Element

The index starts from 0 so the index of the 2nd element will be 1.

a = [8, 15, 16, 30, 24]
a.pop(1)
print(a)

Output:

[8, 16, 30, 24]

Remove the last Element

In the following example, I will not pass an argument so it will remove the last element.

b = [8, 15, 16, 30, 24]
b.pop()
print(b)

Output:

[8, 15, 16, 30]
