the_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
Your code goes below here
the_list.insert(0,the_list.pop(3)) the_list.remove('a'); the_list.remove(False) the_list.remove([1,2,3]) del the_list [:]
Like to know what's the wrong in above code?.
And i tried below code too:
Your code goes below here
the_list.insert(0,the_list.pop(3)) the_list.remove('a'); the_list.remove(False) the_list.remove([1,2,3]) the_list.remove(2) the_list.remove(3) the_list.remove(1)
the_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
# Your code goes below here
the_list.insert(0,the_list.pop(3))
the_list.remove('a');
the_list.remove(False)
the_list.remove([1,2,3])
del the_list [:]

Your first four lines of code are just fine, but the final step of the challenge asks you to use the extend function to make your list contain a range from 1 to 20.

Treehouse Guest TeacherWhat do you think the del the_list [:] line is doing?
SUDHARSAN CHAKRAVARTHI
Courses Plus Student 2,434 Pointsi used to delete remaining contents in the list. Since i missed to delete the list [1 2 3 ] inside the list. i was given error message. Thank You very much.

Treehouse Guest Teacherdel the_list [:] would delete a copy of the_list.
SUDHARSAN CHAKRAVARTHI
Courses Plus Student 2,434 Pointsdel the_list [:] will delete only the contents right?. or the even it deletes the list "the_list". Confirm my understanding.
Kenneth Love
Treehouse Guest TeacherIt will delete the contents of the list, yes. You don't need to delete the contents of the list, though.

Courses Plus Student 2,434 PointsYes. i solved it with the help of forum members. now forgot the question. can you ping me the task needs to be completed on the given list. so that i can help my best...
Example code : the_list.insert(0,the_list.pop(3)) the_list.remove('a') the_list.remove(False) del the_list[:]
Modify the code according to your task.

Treehouse Guest TeacherTara Edwards you do not have to worry about types to complete this challenge. You can, of course, but you're making it harder than it has to be.
