list.remove(item) question (Python3)

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] y=min(data) z=max(data) for x in data: if x==y in data: data.remove(y) elif x==z in data: data.remove(z) print(data) total+=x print(total) I under stand that the x is indexing the data list every loop and my code should be checking to see if and elif are true and then removing the min or max but for some reason it's not removing the second 1024. Can anyone explain this? Thanks

Matt If you are using loop then doens't make sense to remove item from data then add x. You can simply do this: for x in data: if x != y and x != z: total += x -------------------------------+++---------- Btw Only one item will be remove. You just have to remove min and max value then calculate addition Or you can first add all then remove min and max value. So you can do in 2 ways: y = min(data) z = max(data) 1 - print(sum(data) - y - z) 2 - data.remove(y) data.remove(z) print (sum(data)) https://code.sololearn.com/cjLEHtmC9cGn/?ref=app

Miqayel G How do you know? Do you have proof? Now I will downvote your comment because you are blaming me without any proof and also for that posting unnecessary comments in threads.

I think there are many errors in your code First you need to define total variable before the loop Second you don't need to use (in) when you are checking for equality And about your question(why 1024 didn't get removed) That because list are mutable So when for loop starts and removes the first 1024, the max of data changes, so max(data) is no longer 1024
