Difference between del, remove and pop on lists

Question

>>> a=[1,2,3]
>>> a.remove(2)
>>> a
[1, 3]
>>> a=[1,2,3]
>>> del a[1]
>>> a
[1, 3]
>>> a= [1,2,3]
>         


        

Answer 1

Already answered quite well by others. This one from my end :)

Evidently, pop is the only one which returns the value, and remove is the only one which searches the object, while del limits itself to a simple deletion.
