Hey folks,  
I need help with my python code  
Here is the list:-  
list=[[“Doe”,1,74.0],[“John”,2,65.0],[“Lorem”,3,99.0]]

I want to delete the whole sublist with an index of the middle number  
for eg. I’ll give input as 2 and delete item should be [“John”,2,65.0].  
so list will be  
list=[[“doe”,1,74.0],[“Lorem”,3,99.0]].

Thanks in advance

list.pop(1)  
Index starts from 0.  
So to delete 2nd sublist, use index 1.

Just wanted to know can we delete any element of a sublist according to the input  
like: I enter 2 and 1 so it should remove Lorem from the 3rd sublist

```
a=[['Doe',1,74.0],['John',2,65.0],['Lorem',3,99.0]]

print(a[2].pop(0)

print(a) #gives [['Doe', 1, 74.0], ['John', 2, 65.0], [3, 99.0]]

```

Just do it like

```python
try: # because the input may go beyond the bounds
    del list[int(input())] 
    # or list.pop(int(input()) 
    # or list=[list[i] for i in range(len(list)) if i != int(input())]
except:
    print('The index you entered is out of bounds')
```

a=[['Doe',1,74.0],['John',2,65.0],['Lorem',3,99.0]]
