Adding Elements

We have two functions available for adding new elements to a list, and these are:

1. The append(value) method adds a new element at the end of the list, with the value sent as an argument:



Obviously, the length of the list increases by one each time.

2. The insert(index, value) method is superior to the previous one because it adds a new element at the desired position in the list, shifting all existing elements to the right by one:



Thus, we can insert a new element at the desired position in the list.

EXAMPLE

double_arrow Execute  hourglass_top Execute

clear    cached    undo    redo

Console/Output

done

error_outline

clear

Mind the syntax!

Interesting, right?

More would mean a chapter of a book. Python is object-oriented, and the values we refer to that can be introduced as list elements are actually objects. So, an element of a list can be ... another list! Look at this small example:
