Adding Elements with append() and insert()

You can add new elements to a list using the append() and insert() functions.

The append() function adds a new element to the end of a list.

Copy
fruits = ["apple", "banana"]

fruits.append("orange")  # Add "orange" to the end of the list

print("fruits:", fruits)  # ["apple", "banana", "orange"]

In the code above, "orange" is added to the end of the fruits list.

The insert() function adds a new element at a specified index.

The first parameter is the index where you want to insert, and the second parameter is the element to insert.

For example, insert(1, "kiwi") adds "kiwi" at index 1 (the second position).

Copy
fruits = ["apple", "banana"]
# Add "kiwi" at index 1 (2nd position)
fruits.insert(1, "kiwi")

# ["apple", "kiwi", "banana"]
print("fruits:", fruits)
