states = [ 'ACTIVE', ['red', 'green', 'blue'], 'CANCELLED', 'FINISHED', 5,

I want to use .remove in this example. but it seems it doesn't work, I do something wrong and I don't know what exactly. Can anybody help?

lists.py 
states = [
    'ACTIVE',
    ['red', 'green', 'blue'],
    'CANCELLED',
    'FINISHED',
    5,

    states.remove(['CANCELLED','FINISHED',5])
]

Hiya there! Your code is throwing an error 'coz you're performing "remove" method in the same array/List as the values. Place the "remove" statement outside your array/List, and you're good to go. (:
