I am trying to write a method that removes the mode entirely from a list. I’ve looked up other articles to use a for loop but it doesn’t entirely get rid of the mode from the list like it needs to.
this is what my list would look like before I get rid of the mode entirely from a list.
list = 1,3,4,6,3,1,3,
I have already tried the .remove function but it only removes 1 of the numbers
my expected outcome
list = 1,4,6,1
>Solution :
mylist.remove(x) removes only the first occurrence of x from the list.
If you think there may be more than one, use a while loop:
while 3 in mylist:
mylist.remove(3)
If the list is long and/or there might be several 3s in the list, this approach would be more efficient, as it only iterates over the list once:
mylist = [item for item in mylist if item != 3]
