Adding Items to a Python List
You can add items to a list using methods like append(), insert(), or by concatenating lists.
Using append()
Example: Appending an Item
# Using append()
colors = ["Red", "Green", "Blue"]
print("Original List:", colors)
colors.append("Yellow")
print("After Append:", colors)Output
Original List: ['Red', 'Green', 'Blue']
After Append: ['Red', 'Green', 'Blue', 'Yellow']
Explanation: The append() method adds an item to the end of the list.
Using insert()
Example: Inserting an Item
# Using insert()
animals = ["Cat", "Dog", "Elephant"]
print("Original List:", animals)
animals.insert(1, "Horse")
print("After Insert:", animals)Output
Original List: ['Cat', 'Dog', 'Elephant']
After Insert: ['Cat', 'Horse', 'Dog', 'Elephant']
Explanation: The insert() method adds an item at the specified index.
Concatenating Lists
Example: Using + Operator
# Concatenating lists
list1 = [1, 2, 3]
list2 = [4, 5, 6]
combined_list = list1 + list2
print("Combined List:", combined_list)Output
Combined List: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Explanation: The + operator concatenates two lists to form a new list.
