There is a way to remove multiple items from a list with .remove()?

As the title, I'm starting the python track and I was experimenting with the .remove() method. It is possible to pass multiple items in the method?

Also, is there any difference between methods and functions?

maybe this one can help you! states = [ 'ACTIVE', ['red', 'green', 'blue'], 'CANCELLED', 'FINISHED', 5,] states.remove(['red', 'green', 'blue'])

A function is a few lines of code that we want to be able to trigger at any point.

Objects represent something with concrete attributes. "methods", represent actions that the object(str or list) can do.

I got the method-function difference but I still can't understand if I can remove more items from a list with .remove. What you did what to remove a single item ['red', 'green', 'blue'], that happened to be also a list. Still it should count as one item.

Let's take the example that you made: I want to know if there is a way to remove both 'ACTIVE' and ['red', 'green', 'blue'] with the .remove method.

Thanks for answering tho.
