Python: Remove first specified number of elements from a given list satisfying a condition

Python List: Exercise - 160 with Solution

Write a Python program to remove the first specified number of elements from a given list satisfying a condition.

Remove the first 4 number of even numbers from the following list:
[3,10,4,7,5,7,8,3,3,4,5,9,3,4,9,8,5]
Output:
[3, 7, 5, 7, 3, 3, 5, 9, 3, 4, 9, 8, 5]

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def condition_match(x):
    return ((x % 2) == 0)
def remove_items_con(data, N):
    ctr = 1
    result = []
    for x in data:
        if ctr > N or not condition_match(x):
            result.append(x)
        else:
            ctr = ctr + 1
    return result
nums = [3,10,4,7,5,7,8,3,3,4,5,9,3,4,9,8,5]
N = 4
print("Original list:")
print(nums)
print("\nRemove first 4 even numbers from the said list:")
print(remove_items_con(nums, N))

Sample Output:

Original list:
[3, 10, 4, 7, 5, 7, 8, 3, 3, 4, 5, 9, 3, 4, 9, 8, 5]

Remove first 4 even numbers from the said list:
[3, 7, 5, 7, 3, 3, 5, 9, 3, 4, 9, 8, 5]

Previous: Write a Python program to append the same value /a list multiple times to a list/list-of-lists.
Next: Write a Python program to check if a given list is strictly increasing or not. Moreover, If removing only one element from the list results in a strictly increasing list, we still consider the list true.
