How to Remove the Last Item from a List

To remove the last item from a list, you can use the pop() method, which removes and returns the last element of the list.

Example: Removing the Last Item

# Removing the last item from a list
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
last_fruit = fruits.pop()  # Remove and return the last item
print(f"Removed item: {last_fruit}")
print(fruits)

Output

Removed item: cherry

["apple", "banana"]

Explanation: The pop() method removes the last item from the list and returns it. After removing 'cherry', the list contains only 'apple' and 'banana'.
