del vs remove()

Question

del vs remove()

Accepted Answer

del lst[i] deletes the element at position i - you need to know the index. lst.remove(v) scans left to right and deletes the first element equal to v - you need to know the value. If you want to remove all occurrences of a value, you'd need a loop or a list comprehension like [x for x in lst if x != v].
