can some help me how to solve this one? hallenge Task 2 of 2 Great! Now use .remove() and/or del to remove the string, the boolean, and the list from inside of messy_list. When you're done, messy_list should have only integers in it.
Thanks.
messy_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
# Your code goes below here
messy_list.insert(0,messy_list.pop(3))

231,275 PointsThere are several valid approaches to this step. The "brute force" way is to just to delete (del) the items you don't want by directly referencing them using an index number. A more elegant way might be to create a loop that removes items based on their type. Either way will work when correctly implemented.
Decide on a method, give it a shot, and post your code if you have any trouble with it.

231,275 PointsI might do a slightly more compact version of the same thing:
But what I'd really do (though you may not have covered list comprehensions yet) would be this:
messy_list = [ n for n in messy_list if type(n)==int ]
Happy coding!
