Python: Remove the K'th element from a given list, print the new list

Python List: Exercise - 79 with Solution

Write a Python program to remove the K'th element from a given list, print the new list.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def remove_kth_element(n_list, L):
    return  n_list[:L-1] + n_list[L:]

n_list = [1,1,2,3,4,4,5,1]
print("Original list:") 
print(n_list)
kth_position = 3
result = remove_kth_element(n_list, kth_position)
print("\nAfter removing an element at the kth position of the said list:")
print(result)

Sample Output: 

Original list:
[1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 1]

After removing an element at the kth position of the said list:
[1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 5, 1]

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
