how to extend array in python code example

Example 1: python array extend

my_list = ['a','b']  
my_list.append('c') 
print(my_list)      # ['a','b','c']

other_list = [1,2] 
my_list.append(other_list) 
print(my_list)      # ['a','b','c',[1,2]]

my_list.extend(other_list) 
print(my_list)      # ['a','b','c',[1,2],1,2]

Example 2: python append vs extend

my_list = [23, 11, 42, 24523]

# append will add it as if you're adding a new list to it
my_list.append([34523, 76979])
print(my_list)

# extend will go over each item in the new source list and add each
# element as part of the target list (my_list)
my_list.extend([12, 99])
print(my_list)

""" 
Output:
[23, 11, 42, 24523, [34523, 76979]]
[23, 11, 42, 24523, [34523, 76979], 12, 99]
"""

Example 3: how to extend an array python
