Please who can explain why this doesn't remove every item in the list.

Question

List = [i for i in range(8)]
for i in List:
List.remove(i)
Print(List)

Answer 1

when you remove, list size is gets decreased so the next value is, not what you expected value as of without remove.

See ex: list is [2,3,4] then if you remove 2, (its at index 0) , then list is [3,4 ] and next value is at index 1 is 4. Not 3
hope it helps.

Answer 2

Answer 3

List.remove(List[0])

this is a 2nd alternative to Lothar s solution.

while list:
list.pop(0)
