Modifying lists
You can add new items to the end of the list by using its append() method (list is an object!)
>>> numbers = [] # this creates a new empty list
>>> numbers.append(6)
>>> print(numbers)
[6]
>>> numbers.append(2)
>>> print(numbers)
[6, 2]
You can also add multiple items to a list directly with the extend() method.
>>> numbers = [1, 2, 3]
>>> numbers.extend([4, 5, 6])
>>> print(numbers)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
You can delete items from a list with the del operator.
>>> numbers = [1, 2, 3]
>>> print(numbers)
[1, 2, 3]
>>> del numbers[1]
>>> print(numbers)
[1, 3]
The official documentation provides many more methods for the list object, for example .insert(), .pop(), .remove(), .reverse(), .index(), and .sort(). Please explore these at your own leisure.
