Adding Elements with append() and insert()
You can add new elements to a list using the append() and insert() functions.
append() function
The append() function adds a new element to the "end" of a list.
Example of append() function
fruits = ["apple", "banana"]
fruits.append("orange") # Add "orange" to the end of the list
print("fruits:", fruits) # ["apple", "banana", "orange"]
In the code above, "orange" is added to the end of the fruits list.
insert() function
The insert() function adds a new element at a specified index.
The first parameter is the index where you want to insert, and the second parameter is the element to insert.
For example, insert(1, "kiwi") adds "kiwi" at index 1 (the second position).
Example of insert() function
fruits = ["apple", "banana"]
# Add "kiwi" at index 1 (2nd position)
fruits.insert(1, "kiwi")
# ["apple", "kiwi", "banana"]
print("fruits:", fruits)
