Question

This is my solution so far.
Task: identify smallest and largest Elements of the list. Remove them and output sum of remaining elements.
Test case is hidden.
What am i missing?

data = [7, 5, 6.9, 1, 8, 42, 33, 128, 1024, 2, 8, 11, 0.4, 1024, 66, 809, 11, 8.9, 1.1, 3.42, 9, 100, 444, 78]

index_max = data.index(max(data))
index_min = data.index(min(data))

n_max = data.count(data[index_max])
n_min = data.count(data[index_min])

for i in range(1,n_max):
data.remove(data.index(max(data)))

for i in range(1,n_min):
data.remove(data.index(min(data)))

print(sum(data))
