remove elements in range from a list in python

To remove elements from a Python list within a given range, you can use a combination of list slicing and the del statement. Here's an example:

main.py
# Define a list of numbers
my_list = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

# Remove elements in the range [2, 4] (i.e., the 3rd, 4th, and 5th elements)
del my_list[2:5]

# Print the updated list
print(my_list)  # Output: [0, 1, 5]
213 chars
9 lines

In this example, we first define a list my_list containing the numbers 0 to 5. To remove elements in the range [2, 4], we use list slicing with the del statement. The slice my_list[2:5] represents the sublist of elements between indices 2 and 4 (inclusive), which correspond to the third, fourth, and fifth elements of my_list. When we execute del my_list[2:5], these elements are removed from the list. Finally, we print the updated list, which contains only the first and second elements, as well as the sixth element (which was not in the range we removed).
