I had already looked through this post:
Python: building new list from existing by dropping every n-th element, but for some reason it does not work for me:
I tried this way:
def drop(mylist, n):
del mylist[0::n]
print(mylist)
This function takes a list and n
. Then it removes every n-th element by using n-step from list and prints result.
Here is my function call:
drop([1,2,3,4],2)
Wrong output:
[2, 4]
instead of [1, 3]
Then I tried a variant from the link above:
def drop(mylist, n):
new_list = [item for index, item in enumerate(mylist) if index % n != 0]
print(new_list)
Again, function call:
drop([1,2,3,4],2)
Gives me the same wrong result:
[2, 4]
instead of [1, 3]
How to correctly remove/delete/drop every n-th item from a list?
