How to Add / Append items to a list in Python
To add items to a list in python is a very general task that you might come across. Here we have an empty list that we are populating with 10 items using the append method. n = 10 list = [] for i in range(n): list.append(input()) print list That's it! Common Mistake its a common mistake of doing something like this n=10 list=[] for i in range(n): list[i]=input() this will throw an error IndexError: list assignment index out of range Because the list is empty and list[i] is trying to access index which does not exist!
