1,974 PointsHow do you use the remove function without affecting previous removals? I am having issues with the removal exercise.
Below is what I'm using. However, it seems that the first removal is no longer valid after I input the second (from what the exercise is telling me).
states.remove(5) states.remove([red, green, blue])
states = [
'ACTIVE',
['red', 'green', 'blue'],
'CANCELLED',
'FINISHED',
5,
]
states.remove(5)
states.remove[red, green, blue]

28,558 PointsThe first removal is fine, the reason why task 1 no longer passes after you enter your code for task 2 is that your code has syntax errors in it, which invalidates all of your code as far as the code checker is concerned.
There are two errors in your code:
- When you call a method like
removeyou need to place parenthesis after it, and pass the argument within those parenthesis. - The words
red,greenandblueare strings so you need to wrap them in quote marks.
Like this:
states = [
'ACTIVE',
['red', 'green', 'blue'],
'CANCELLED',
'FINISHED',
5,
]
states.remove(5)
states.remove(['red', 'green', 'blue']) # Added () around argument and quotes around strings.
