How to add element in Python to the end of list using list.insert?
You'll have to pass the new ordinal position to insert
using len
in this case:
In [62]:
a=[1,2,3,4]
a.insert(len(a),5)
a
Out[62]:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
list.insert with any index >= len(of_the_list) places the value at the end of list. It behaves like append
Python 3.7.4
>>>lst=[10,20,30]
>>>lst.insert(len(lst), 101)
>>>lst
[10, 20, 30, 101]
>>>lst.insert(len(lst)+50, 202)
>>>lst
[10, 20, 30, 101, 202]
Time complexity, append O(1), insert O(n)
