647 Pointsdel vs remove
when to use del vs remove?
example:
messy = [5,2,8,3]
I was asked to delete the even numbers. so I started with 8
del messy[2] and I was correct. Then they asked me to delete 2
I did the following del messy[1] and I got the wrong answer
messy = [5, 2, 8, 1, 3]
messy.remove(1)

4,874 Pointsdel : deletes the item from particular index remove : remove the first instance of the value from a list
For eg.
mylist = [1, 2, 3, 4, 2]
mylist.remove(2)
mylist
[1, 3, 4, 2]
Notice : del and remove will directly remove the items which means no assignment is required. Hope this helps
