Question

Ugh, I made this list and now it has some invalid pieces in it. Maybe you can help me clean it up.Use the .remove() method to remove the last item from the list, please.

Initially given

states = [ 'ACTIVE', ['red', 'green', 'blue'], 'CANCELLED', 'FINISHED', 5, ]

I wrote in work space

states = ['ACTIVE', ['red', 'green', 'blue'], 'CANCELLED', 'FINISHED', 5]

states.remove (5)

after running it always giving bumper but when I run it on my PC IDLE python it runs well and removed the last item from the list that is the final result of list is coming

['ACTIVE', ['red', 'green', 'blue'], 'CANCELLED', 'FINISHED']

Your code is close to correct. Do not put a space between remove and the parens:

states.remove(5)  # <-- no space

Some interpreters ignore the space and run anyway, but having the space is not recommended syntax by PEP 8. It best to break the habit as early as possible.

Hi,

I tried this:

states = [
    'ACTIVE',
    ['red', 'green', 'blue'],
    'CANCELLED',
    'FINISHED',
    5,
]
states.remove(5)

without problem, try copying and paste it.

Hope it helps.
