Deleting a few list items inside of dictionary

Hi, I have a dictionary:

phone = {\"first\":100,\"second\":200,\"third\":[10,12,5,38],\"fourth\":400}
         


        

Answer 1

You can treat phone["third"] as a list since that is what it evaluates to. For instance, if you know the indexes of the items you want to remove you can do:

phone["third"][1:3]=[]

or

del phone["third"][1:3]
