Using Python's .append() to Build Lists

Adding items to a list is a fairly common task in Python, so the language provides a bunch of methods and operators that can help you out with this operation. One of those methods is .append(). With .append(), you can add items to the end of an existing list object. You can also use .append() in a for loop to populate lists programmatically.

In this course, you’ll learn how to:

- Work with .append()

Thank you for taking the time and effort to put together this tutorial.

I'd add to this - if you know the final length of your future list, then first create this list filled with zeroes, and after change values calling their index, it will boost your code becose append method spends some time figuring out your lists length issue.
