Python Puzzle Remove even numbers

# Wrong approach (incorrect - using For loop)

def removeEven(List):

    print(id(List)) # 139909029905664

    for each in List:

       i f each % 2 == 0:

          List.remove(each)

print(id(myList)) # 139909029905664

print(myList) # [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 6, 3]

removeEven(myList)

print(myList) # [168, 32, -55, 81, -34, -9, -31, -131, -190]

# Wrong as when element gets deleted, index goes down

# Correct approach (using While loop)
