Remove problem

How to remove more than one item or different items at one time? For example: nums=[1,2,3,3,3,4,5,4] Can I remove all 3 or 2 and 4 in one line? And how to remove the second 4?

# if you are looking for a one liner try nums=[1,2,3,3,3,4,5,4] # filter out all duplicates from a list print(list(set(nums))) # or if you just want it as a set just go print(set(nums)) # remove specific numbers from a list # an example of removing all 3's and 4's print([x for x in nums if x not in [3,4]]) # or to alter by index position use slicing notation # remove the last position from the list print(nums[:-1])

you have to iterate the list and remove the nodes you don't need with a condition, you can use a while or you can do it with a recursive method. Hope it helps :)

That way you just fill your [set()] list, you have to add the condition to erase the numbers you don't want

mySet = set() for e in nums: mySet.add(e)

I mean to create set. It is type that doesn't accept duplicates. if you have a list just iterate it and add items to set. or make set imideatelly if you dont want duplicates
