I want to write something that removes a specific element from an array. I know that I have to for loop through the array to find the element that matches the content.

Let’s say that I have an array of emails and I want to get rid of the element that matches some email string.

I’d actually like to use the for loop structure because I need to use the same index for other arrays as well.

Here is the code that I have:

for index, item in emails:
    if emails[index] == 'something@something.com':
         emails.pop(index)
         otherarray.pop(index)

    You don’t need to iterate the array. Just:

    >>> x = ['ala@ala.com', 'bala@bala.com']
>>> x
['ala@ala.com', 'bala@bala.com']
>>> x.remove('ala@ala.com')
>>> x
['bala@bala.com']

    This will remove the first occurence that matches the string.

    EDIT: After your edit, you still don’t need to iterate over. Just do:

    index = initial_list.index(item1)
del initial_list[index]
del other_list[index]
