Let's see some examples of pop() method to understand it's functionality.

Python List pop() Method Example 1

Let's first see a simple example of popping element from the list. Element present at the index 2 is popped, see the example below.

# Python list pop() Method
# Creating a list
list = ['1','2','3']
for l in list:  # Iterating list
    print(l)
list.pop(2)
print("After poping:")
for l in list:  # Iterating list
    print(l)

Output:

1
2
3
After poping:
1
2

Python List pop() Method Example 2

The index is optional, if we don't specify the index, it pops element presents at the last index of the list. See the example below.

# Python list pop() Method
# Creating a list
list = ['1','2','3']
for l in list:  # Iterating list
    print(l)
list.pop()
print("After poping:")
for l in list:  # Iterating list
    print(l)

Output:

1
2
3
After poping:
1
2

Python List pop() Method Example 3

If the index is a negative value, it will pop element from the right of the list. See the example below.

# Python list pop() Method
# Creating a list
list = ['1','2','3']
for l in list:  # Iterating list
    print(l)
list.pop(-2)	# Item will be removed from the right of the list
print("After poping:")
