hi,
l=['5\n', '2\n', '7\n', '3\n', '6\n']

how to remove \n from the given list

l is is very poor name... I'll use lines instead:

lines[:] = [line.rstrip('\n') for line in lines]
---

why not just:

lines = [line.rstrip('\n') for line in lines]


what's the difference between lines[:] and lines here? Thanks.
Compare:

lines = ['5\n', '2\n', '7\n', '3\n', '6\n']
lines2 = lines
lines = [line.rstrip('\n') for line in lines]
lines ['5', '2', '7', '3', '6']
lines2

['5\n', '2\n', '7\n', '3\n', '6\n']

with:

lines = ['5\n', '2\n', '7\n', '3\n', '6\n']
lines2 = lines
lines[:] = [line.rstrip('\n') for line in lines]
lines ['5', '2', '7', '3', '6']
lines2

['5', '2', '7', '3', '6']

Assigning to lines[:] changes the original list. Assigning to lines
rebinds the name to the result of the list comprehension, but doesn't
affect the original list.
