Removing a specific list from an array

I have this list

list = [[0, 0], [0, 1], [0, 2], [1, 0], [1, 1], [1, 2], [2, 1], [2, 2], [2, 0]]

I want to take 2 integers

row = 2 and column = 1

Combine them

thing = (str(row) + str(", ") + str(column))

then I want to remove the list

[2, 1]

from the array. How would I do this?

EDIT: The language is Python

First of all, don't name your list list. It will overwrite the builtin function list() and potentially mess with your code later.

Secondly, finding and removing elements in a list is done like

data.remove(value)

or in your case

data.remove([2, 1])

Specifically, where you are looking for an entry [row, column], you would do

data.remove([row, column])

where row and column are your two variables.

It may be a bit confusing to name them row and column, though. because your data could be interpreted as a matrix/2D array, where "row" and "column" have a different meaning.
