How can I remove a element from a list even though there are equal elements inside?

Question

For example:

list = [1,7,2,8,9,2,7,9,2,8,2]

How can I remove two of the "2" without removing the others?

Answer 1

You can find the index of the one(s) you want to delete and use the function pop(index) to delete it/them.

Exemple:

your_list.pop(5) # Delete the 5th element of your list

Here's a little doc: https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/methods/list/pop

Answer 2

This should work by removing an i element n times from a list arr.

arr = [1,7,2,8,9,2,7,9,2,8,2]

def remove(arr, i, n = 1):
    for _ in range(n):
        arr.remove(i)

remove(arr, 2, 3)
print(arr)
