Python provides a method called .append() that you can use to add items to the end of a given list. This method is widely used either to add a single item to the end of a list or to populate a list using a for loop. Learning how to use .append() will help you process lists in your programs.

In this course, you learned:

  • How .append() works
  • How to populate lists using .append() along with a for loop
  • When to replace .append() with a list comprehension
