Remove a word

Question

list = ['apricot', 'plum', 'appleseed']
print(list[2])

Is there anyway I can remove seed for apple
when I print it, so I can print apple only.

Answer 1

print(list[2][:5])

This doesn't change the list, just prints out the first 5 characters of the word.

Answer 2

#some of the mentioned solutions does only work if 'appleseed' is at index [2]. here are some variations that will work in general:

list_ = ['apricot', 'plum', 'banana','appleseed', 'orange']
print('(1a)',list_)
print('(1b)',list_[2]) #<- this does work no longer because an other item has been inserted

# it does only print the corrected list and only item [2]
print('(2)',[x.replace('seed','') for x in list_ if x.startswith('apple')])

# or create a new list with corrected item, original list keeps as it is:
res = [x.replace('seed','') for x in list_]
print('(3)',res)

# or use original list to print with corrected item
list_ = [x.replace('seed','') for x in list_]
print('(4)',list_)

# output:
'''
(1a) ['apricot', 'plum', 'banana', 'appleseed', 'orange']
(1b) banana
(2) ['apple']
(3) ['apricot', 'plum', 'banana', 'apple', 'orange']
(4) ['apricot', 'plum', 'banana', 'apple', 'orange']
'''
