List operations with different results

Question

I would like to understand why I'm getting different results in these lists operations.

list1 = ['a','b','c']
list1.remove('a')
print(list1) #results ['b', 'c']

text = "abc"
print(list(text).remove('a')) #results Nome

Answer 1

That is because remove retuns None value. If you try the same thing with the first case, you will observe the same behavior:

list1 = ['a','b','c']
print(list1.remove('a'))

Answer 2

The list(text).remove('a') operation is in place, is returns None.

You should do this instead:

my_list = list(text)
my_list.remove('a')
print(my_list)
