concatenate list python code example

Example 1: python concatenate lists

a = [1, 2, 3]
b = [4, 5]

# method 1:
c = a + b # forms a new list with all elements
print(c) # [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

# method 2:
a.extend(b) # adds the elements of b into list a
print(a) # [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Example 2: how to combine two lists in python

listone = [1,2,3]
listtwo = [4,5,6]

joinedlist = listone + listtwo

Example 3: python how to add one list to another list

# Basic syntax:
first_list.append(second_list) # Append adds the the second_list as an
#	element to the first_list
first_list.extend(second_list) # Extend combines the elements of the 
#	first_list and the second_list

# Note, both append and extend modify the first_list in place

# Example usage for append:
first_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
second_list = [6, 7, 8, 9]
first_list.append(second_list)
print(first_list)
--> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, [6, 7, 8, 9]]

# Example usage for extend:
first_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
second_list = [6, 7, 8, 9]
first_list.extend(second_list)
print(first_list)
--> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Example 4: add two list in python

list1 = ["a", "b" , "c"]
list2 = [1, 2, 3]

list1.extend(list2)
print(list1)

Example 5: join lists python

first_list = ["1", "2"]
second_list = ["3", "4"]

# Multiple ways to do this:
first_list += second_list
first_list = first_list + second_list
first_list.extend(second_list)

Example 6: concatenate list of strings python

listvalues = ['a', 'b', 'c']
concstring = ''.join(l)
