pyhton append list xtende code example

Example 1: 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 2: how to extend an array python

my_list = ['geeks', 'for'] 
another_list = [6, 0, 4, 1] 
my_list.extend(another_list)
