Is there a simple way to delete a list element by value?

 

Yes, you can delete a list element by its value in Python using the remove() method. The remove() method removes the first occurrence of a specified value from the list. Here's an example:

python
# Create a list my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 5] # Remove an element by its value (e.g., remove 3) value_to_remove = 3 my_list.remove(value_to_remove) # Print the modified list print(my_list)

In this example, we have a list called my_list, and we want to remove the value 3 from the list. We use the remove() method and pass the value 3 as an argument. After removing the first occurrence of 3, the list will be modified, and when you print it, you'll get:

csharp
[1, 2, 4, 3, 5]

Keep in mind that if the specified value doesn't exist in the list, calling remove() will raise a ValueError. To avoid this, you can first check if the value exists in the list using the in operator or a conditional statement.
