3,500 PointsIs the .copy() method the only way to remove every item from a list?
Can you just create a for loop like this?
for item in len(inventory): inventory.remove[len]

Treehouse Moderator 68,425 PointsIf you remove every item from a list you are left with an empty list []. You can simply reassign the variable to point to an empty list
long_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
long_list = []
