Hello in this tutorial, we will see how to use to list append() method in python programming.<\/p>\n

1. Introduction<\/h2>\n

The append()<\/code> method adds a new element to the end of the list and it returns nothing. It is represented by the following syntax:<\/p>\n

Syntax<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

list.append(new_element)\n<\/pre>\n
The method accepts a single argument that is added to the original list. This argument can be numbers, strings, dictionaries, lists, etc.<\/p>\n

1.1 Setting up Python<\/h3>\n
If someone needs to go through the Python installation on Windows, please watch this<\/a> link. You can download the Python from this<\/a> link.<\/p>\n
2. Python List append Method<\/h2>\n
Let us dive in with the programming stuff now. I am using JetBrains PyCharm<\/a> as my preferred IDE. You’re free to choose the IDE of your choice.

2.1 Creating an implementation file<\/h3>\n
Let us understand the implementation with the help of a python script.<\/p>\n
Implementation file<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
# python list append method\n# append(..) method adds an item to the end of the list and it returns nothing\n\ndef append_ele_to_list(items, element):\n    print('adding single element')\n    items.append(element)\n    print('updated list = {}\\n'.format(items))\n\n\ndef append_list_to_list(items, new_items):\n    print('adding list')\n    items.append(new_items)\n    print('updated list = {}\\n'.format(items))\n\n\n# driver code\nif __name__ == '__main__':\n    phones = ['Apple', 'Android', 'Blackberry', 'Windows', 'Galaxy', 'HTC']\n    print('original list = {}\\n'.format(phones))\n\n    # append_ele_to_list(phones, 'Samsung')\n    # append_list_to_list(phones, ['Motorola', 'Lenovo'])\n<\/pre>\n
You can uncomment the method of your choice and run this python script. If everything goes well the output will be shown in the IDE console.<\/p>\n
Console output<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
original list = ['Apple', 'Android', 'Blackberry', 'Windows', 'Galaxy', 'HTC']\n\nadding single element\nupdated list = ['Apple', 'Android', 'Blackberry', 'Windows', 'Galaxy', 'HTC', 'Samsung']\n\nadding list\nupdated list = ['Apple', 'Android', 'Blackberry', 'Windows', 'Galaxy', 'HTC', 'Samsung', ['Motorola', 'Lenovo']]\n<\/pre>\n
