Removing a long range of strings from a list in python

Question

Let's say I have a long list of items having both integers, floats and strings and I wish to remove only the strings and leave the integers and floats in the list. Is there a function to do it at once or do I have to manually remove each item using the remove function
list.remove(obj) like this?
To me it's quite a whole lot of work

Answer 1

This is how I would do it:

It is usually better to create a new list because iterating over an existing one is kind of dangerous.

Thanks

Answer 3

myarr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 'blah', 2.33, 'blah', 4.66, 'blah', 34, 'blah', 4, 'blah']
print(list(filter(lambda x: isinstance(x, (int, float)), myarr[:])))

Answer 4

You can also create an empty list variable, use for loop to iterate over each item in the list that is int to append it to the empty lits variable.
