merge lists in 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: add two list in python

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

list1.extend(list2)
print(list1)

Example 3: how to combine 2 lists in python

l1 = [1,2,3,4]
l2 = [1,1,1,1]
l3 = [l1[x//2] if x % 2 == 0 else l2[x//2] for x in range(8)]
// l3: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

Example 4: 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 5: python merge list of lists

flat_list = [item for sublist in t for item in sublist]

Example 6: merge lists in list python

import itertools
a = [['a','b'], ['c']]
print(list(itertools.chain.from_iterable(a)))
