In this tutorial, we will learn about the Python list append() method with the help of examples.
The append() method adds an item to the end of the list.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | currencies = ['Dollar', 'Euro', 'Pound']# append 'Yen' to the listcurrencies.append('Yen')print(currencies)# Output: ['Dollar', 'Euro', 'Pound', 'Yen'] |
1. Syntax of List append()
The syntax of the append() method is:
1 | list.append(item) |
2. append() Parameters
The method takes a single argument
- item – an item (number, string, list etc.) to be added at the end of the list
3. Return Value from append()
The method doesn’t return any value (returns None).
4. Example 1: Adding Element to a List
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | # animals listanimals = ['cat', 'dog', 'rabbit']# Add 'guinea pig' to the listanimals.append('guinea pig')print('Updated animals list: ', animals) |
Output
1 | Updated animals list: ['cat', 'dog', 'rabbit', 'guinea pig'] |
5. Example 2: Adding List to a List
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | # animals listanimals = ['cat', 'dog', 'rabbit']# list of wild animalswild_animals = ['tiger', 'fox']# appending wild_animals list to animalsanimals.append(wild_animals)print('Updated animals list: ', animals) |
Output
1 | Updated animals list: ['cat', 'dog', 'rabbit', ['tiger', 'fox']] |
In the program, a single item (wild_animals list) is added to the animals list.
Note: If you need to add items of a list (rather than the list itself) to another list, use the extend() method.
