Why can't i delete all the numbers < 6??

It's removing 1 and 3 but why it's not removing 2 & 5??? As in the given e.g.. a = [1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7] for item in a: if item < 6: a.remove(item) #why it is not removing item = 2 & 5 ?? print(a)

That's because lists are mutable and Python avoids automatically making object copies where possible. And for loop is iterating through a list, that gets removed values over time. You can fix that by changing the line: for item in a: To: for item in a.copy():
