How to append multiple values to a list in Python

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about how to add a multiple values or elements to a list in Python.

Consider, we have a following list:

nums =  [1, 2, 3]

To append a single value to the above nums list, we can use the append() method in Python.

nums.append(4)

Appending multiple values to a list

To append a multiple values to a list, we can use the built-in extend() method in Python.

The extend() method takes the list as an argument and appends it to the end of an existing list.

Here is an example:

nums =  [1, 2, 3]

nums.extend([4, 5, 6]) # adding 4,5,6 at the end

print(nums)

Output:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Using + operator

We can also use the + plus operator to add a multiple values to the list.

Here is an example:

nums =  [1, 2, 3]

print(list + [4, 5, 6])

Output:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
