Python List append() Method
Appends an item to a list
Usage
The append() method adds a single item to the end of the list. This method does not return anything; it modifies the list in place.
Syntax
list.append(item)
| Parameter | Condition | Description |
| item | Required | An item you want to append to the list |
Examples
# Append 'yellow'
L = ['red', 'green', 'blue']
L.append('yellow')
print(L)
# Prints ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow']# Append list to a list
L = ['red', 'green', 'blue']
L.append([1,2,3])
print(L)
# Prints ['red', 'green', 'blue', [1, 2, 3]]# Append tuple to a list
L = ['red', 'green', 'blue']
L.append((1,2,3))
print(L)
# Prints ['red', 'green', 'blue', (1, 2, 3)]append() vs extend()
append() method treats its argument as a single object.
L = ['red', 'green']
L.append('blue')
print(L)
# Prints ['red', 'green', 'blue']Use extend() method, if you want to add every item of an iterable to a list.
L = ['red', 'green']
L.extend('blue')
print(L)
# Prints ['red', 'green', 'b', 'l', 'u', 'e']

Two Machine Learning Fields
There are two sides to machine learning:
- Practical Machine Learning:This is about querying databases, cleaning data, writing scripts to transform data and gluing algorithm and libraries together and writing custom code to squeeze reliable answers from data to satisfy difficult and ill defined questions. It’s the mess of reality.
- Theoretical Machine Learning: This is about math and abstraction and idealized scenarios and limits and beauty and informing what is possible. It is a whole lot neater and cleaner and removed from the mess of reality.
