Python - Add List Items

Append Items

To add an item to the end of the list, use the append() method:

append()

Insert Items

To insert a list item at a specified index, use the insert() method.

The insert() method inserts an item at the specified index:

Example

thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

thislist.insert(1, "orange")

print(thislist)

Note

As a result of the examples above, the lists will now contain 4 items.

Extend List

To append elements from another list to the current list, use the extend() method.

tropical

The elements will be added to the end of the list.

Add Any Iterable

The extend() method does not have to append lists , you can add any iterable object (tuples, sets, dictionaries etc.).

Example

thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

thistuple = ("kiwi", "orange")

thislist.extend(thistuple)

print(thislist)
