# [[Python Lists Remove]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
Python offers four distinct ways to shrink a list — remove() by value, pop() by index (or last item if omitted), del by index or to delete the whole variable, and clear() to empty it while keeping the list object. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **`remove(value)`** — removes the first occurrence of the specified value. [S1]
- **`pop(index)`** — removes the item at the given index; omitting the index removes the last item. [S1]
- **`del list[index]`** — removes the item at the given index (keyword, not a method). [S1]
- **`del list`** — deletes the entire list variable. [S1]
- **`clear()`** — empties the list's contents; the list object itself still exists. [S1]

## 🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)
- **First-occurrence-only removal** — `remove()` on a value present multiple times only deletes the first match, leaving duplicates intact. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- Remove by value: `thislist.remove("banana")`. [S1]
- Pop by index: `thislist.pop(1)`. [S1]
- Pop last (no index): `thislist.pop()`. [S1]
- Del by index: `del thislist[0]`. [S1]
- Del entire list: `del thislist`. [S1]
- Clear contents: `thislist.clear()` → `[]`. [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
소스에서 모순되는 정보는 발견되지 않음.

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — `del`은 리스트 외에도 변수 자체를 지우는 범용 키워드라는 점에서 다른 메서드들과 성격이 다르다. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Four removal methods (Python):
```python
thislist.remove("banana")  # by value, first match
thislist.pop(1)             # by index
del thislist[0]             # by index (keyword)
thislist.clear()            # empty, keep the list object
```
