# Basic syntax:
first_list.append(second_list) # Append adds the second_list as an
# element to the first_list
first_list.extend(second_list) # Extend combines the elements of the
# first_list and the second_list
# Note, both append and extend modify the first_list in place
# Example usage for append:
first_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
second_list = [6, 7, 8, 9]
first_list.append(second_list)
print(first_list)
--> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, [6, 7, 8, 9]]
# Example usage for extend:
first_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
second_list = [6, 7, 8, 9]
first_list.extend(second_list)
print(first_list)
--> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
Difference between List append() and List extend() method
a =[1,2]
b= [3,4]
# append() method
a.append(b)
print("Using append() method", a)
x =[1,2]
y= [3,4]
# extend() method
x.extend(y)
print("Using extend() method", x)
# My List
my_list = ['geeks', 'for', 'geeks']
# My Tuple
my_tuple = ('DSA', 'Java')
# My Set
my_set = {'Flutter', 'Android'}
# Append tuple to the list
my_list.extend(my_tuple)
print(my_list)
# Append set to the list
my_list.extend(my_set)
print(my_list)
['geeks', 'for', 'geeks', 'DSA', 'Java']
['geeks', 'for', 'geeks', 'DSA', 'Java', 'Android', 'Flutter']
Python Program to extend the list
# Programming list
programming_list = ['C','C#','Python','Java']
frontend_programming =['CSS','HTML','JavaScript']
# add the frontend_progamming list into the existing list
programming_list.extend(frontend_programming)
# Note that iterable element is added to the end of the list
print('The new extended list is :', programming_list)
