list.insert() vs list.remove()
list.insert() and list.remove() are both Python List Methods APIs, and choosing between them is a common point of confusion. This page compares their syntax, parameters, return values, and typical use cases so you can pick the right one. list.insert(): Inserts an item at a given position. The first argument is the index. Its syntax is list.insert(index, x), and it returns none list.remove(): Removes the first occurrence of x from the list. Raises ValueError if not found. Its syntax is list.remove(x), and it returns none Example of list.insert(): lst = [1, 3]
lst.insert(1, 2)
# lst = [1, 2, 3]. Example of list.remove(): lst = [1, 2, 3, 2]
lst.remove(2)
# lst = [1, 3, 2]. Read the full references for list.insert() and list.remove() to see parameters, edge cases, and example code side by side. Other List Methods APIs worth comparing: list.append(), list.extend(), list.pop(), list.clear(), list.index(), list.count().
