How to remove an element from a list in Python?

To remove an element from a list in Python, you can use the `remove()` method. This method takes the element to be removed as its argument and removes the first occurrence of that element from the list.

If the element is not found, the `remove()` method will raise a `ValueError` exception. For example, the following code removes the element `’apple’` from the list `fruits`:

fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']

​

fruits.remove('apple')

​

print(fruits)  # Output: ['banana', 'cherry']

If you want to remove all occurrences of an element from a list, you can use the `while` loop as follows:

fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'apple', 'banana']

​

while 'apple' in fruits:

    fruits.remove('apple')

​

print(fruits)  # Output: ['banana', 'cherry', 'banana']
