How can I remove an element from a list by its index in Python?

I want to remove an element from a Python list by its index. What is the best way to do this?

Here’s an example list:

my_list = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date']

Suppose I want to remove the third element ('cherry') from this list. How can I do this using Python code? I tried using the pop() method, but it only removes the last element by default. Here’s the code I used:

However, this code only works if I want to remove the last element (‘date’) from the list. How can I modify this code to remove the third element instead? Or is there a better way to remove an element by its index in Python lists? Any help would be appreciated.
