How to remove 0 in a list?

Question

I know only to remove 0 is easy, but in fact there are a lot of things like False, None, 0, [], {} and so on that are also removed when I run the line of code:
list.remove(0)
Is there a solution for that?

Answer 1

Interesting situation!

I suppose the problem is that you check for *equality*, and False in that sort of situation equals to 0.

One way around it: Check for *identity* instead!

list_ = [n for n in list_ if n is not 0]

This works because False may equal 0 but it *is not* 0.

Answer 2

Alice yes bcz it's considered as 0 and 0 in python.

Answer 3

False = 0
0 = 0
it will remove both
print(False==0)

lst=[False, None, 0, [], {}]
print([x for x in lst if x != 0])

lst.pop(0)
lst.remove(0)

all have the same result, it might be beneficial to have all zeroes made into strings "0"

lst=[False, None, "0", [], {}]
print([x for x in lst if x != "0"])

Steven M Thank you for helping to solve the problem.

Answer 5

Replacing list.remove(0) with list.remove(int(0)) will work.

But make sure you handle errors as it'll raise error if element doesn't exist anymore.

Shashi Ranjan but I tried and it still removes False as usual...

Shashi Ranjan Here’s the code.

Answer 10

False is 0 and vice-versa so it'll be removed anyway. Instead use "False".
