Using Set’s difference operator
The difference operator – gets items in the first set but not in the second.
Python3
# Python program to remove common elements# in the two lists using Set’s difference# operatordef remove_common(a, b): a, b = list(set(a) - set(b)), list(set(b) - set(a)) print("list1 : ", a) print("list2 : ", b)if __name__ == "__main__": a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] b = [4, 5, 6, 7, 8] remove_common(a, b) |
Output
list1 : [1, 2, 3] list2 : [8, 6, 7]
Remove common elements from two list in Python
Given two lists, the task is to write a Python program to remove all the common elements of two lists.
Examples:
Input : list1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
list2 = [4, 5, 6, 7, 8,]
Output : list1 = [1, 2, 3]
list2 = [6, 7, 8]
Explanation: Lists after removing common elements of both the lists i.e, 4 and 5.
Input : list1 = [1, 2, 3]
list2 = [1, 2, 3]
Output : list1 = []
list2 = []
Explanation: They have all the elements in common in
between them.
