I am trying to delete all the even numbers in the following list(2,4,6,8,10). The code I have is throwing a "list index is out of range" error however. Any ideas?

Thanks

names = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

for idx in range( len(names) ):
    if names[idx] % 2 == 0:
        names.pop(idx)

Never alter a list while you are indexing over it! – cosinepenguin Aug 29 '17 at 20:00

The "pythonic" way to do this is `names = [e for e in names if e%2]` – Patrick Haugh Aug 29 '17 at 20:02
