pop() method removes the item from the given position of list and returns the item

pop(i) takes one argument as position ( optional ) .

i : ( Position ) Position of the element to be removed ( 0 based index )

If no position is given ( input i ) then last element of the list is removed.

my_list=['a','b','c','d','e']
my_list.pop(2)
print(my_list)

Output ( element at position 2 , c is removed )

['a', 'b', 'd', 'e']

Using String

my_list=['Alex','Ronald','John']
my_list.pop()  # deletes last element
print(my_list)

Output is here

['Alex', 'Ronald']

We can remove element from a particular position

my_list=['Alex','Ronald','John']
my_list.pop(0)  # deletes first element
print(my_list)

Output is here

['Ronald', 'John']

We can collect the removed element

my_list=['Alex','Ronald','John']
name=my_list.pop(1)  # deletes first element
print(name)

Output is here

Ronald
