python array append code example

Example 1: append element to an array python

x = ['Red', 'Blue']
x.append('Yellow')

Example 2: add something to list python

#append to list
lst = [1, 2, 3]
something = 4
lst.append(something)
#lst is now [1, 2, 3, 4]

Example 3: 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]
"""

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

my_list.extend(other_list)
