Any idea why I keep getting the Invalid Index Error, I have raised the IndexError, but it wouldn't pass. Thank you
# enter your code below
def pop(list1: list, num1: int):
#is num1 in the range of list1?
if num1 <= len(list1):
#remove the item in the list with the provided index
list1.pop(num1)
#return list
return list1
else:
raise IndexError('Invalid Index')

44,806 PointsInstead of raising an IndexError
, try returning 'Invalid Index'
.
If num1
is equal to len(list1)
, list1.pop(num1)
gives IndexError: pop index out of range
. To avoid this, change the <=
in if num1 <= len(list1):
to <
.

Courses Plus Student 23,765 PointsHIi jb30 thank you, as always your answer was most effective( I did change the <= to < and instead of raising it, I just returned it.
Again, thank you
