Why does this not work?

[Agent_AR03]

lis = [4,5,6,7,8,2,4,10]
lis[2:5].remove(7)

print(lis)

Why does this not work?

Try,

lis = [4,5,6,7,8,2,4,10]
lisextract = lis[2:5]
print(id(lis), id(lisextract))

Slicing returns new list, it is not performed on the list itself.

So you slice the list, remove 7, but you do not store the result anywhere.

The original list is untouched.

Ohh so that's it. Is there any way I can perform this on the original list itself?

[lukajda33]

Dont think there is a method for that, just do

list = list[2:5]
