Python List: Exercise - 117 with Solution
Write a Python program to remove all elements from a given list that are present in another list.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def index_on_inner_list(list1, list2):
result = [x for x in list1 if x not in list2]
return result
list1 = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
list2 = [2,4,6,8]
print("Original lists:")
print("list1:", list1)
print("list2:", list2)
print("\nRemove all elements from 'list1' present in 'list2:")
print(index_on_inner_list(list1, list2))
Sample Output:
Original lists: list1: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] list2: [2, 4, 6, 8] Remove all elements from 'list1' present in 'list2: [1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10]
