To add an element to a given Python list, you can use either of the three following methods:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use the list insert<\/a> method list.insert(index, element)<\/code>.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Use slice assignment<\/a> lst[index:index] = [element]<\/code> to overwrite the empty slice with a list of one element.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Use list concatenation<\/a> with slicing lst[:2] + ['Alice'] + lst[2:]<\/code> to create a new list <\/a>object.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In the following, you’ll learn about all three methods in greater detail. But before that, feel free to test those yourself in our interactive Python shell (just click “Run” to see the output):<\/p>\n
