In this tutorial, we will program 'How to Append an Element to a List in Python'. We will learn how to add an element to a list in Python. The main goal here is to create a safe way to store temporary data that can be sent to a working database. I will provide a sample program to demonstrate the actual coding of this tutorial.

This topic is very easy to understand; just follow the instructions I provide, and you can also do it yourself with ease. The program I will show you covers the basics of programming for appending an element to a list. I will do my best to provide you with the easiest method of appending any element to a list. So, let's start with the coding.

Getting Started:

First you will have to download & install the Python IDLE's, here's the link for the Integrated Development And Learning Environment for Python https://www.python.org/downloads/.

Creating Main Function

This is the main function of the application. The following code will display a simple GUI in terminal console that will display program. To do this, simply copy and paste these blocks of code into the IDLE text editor.
  1. my_list = []
  2.  
  3. print("\n\n=============== Append an Element to a List ===============\n\n")
  4.  
  5. while True:
  6.     ret=False
  7.    
  8.    
  9.     my_input = input("Enter a string: ")
  10.  
  11.  
  12.     my_list.append(my_input)
  13.  
  14.     print(my_list)
  15.  
  16.  
  17.     opt = input("\nDo you want to append another string? (Yes/No): ");
  18.     print("\n")
  19.    
  20.     if opt.lower() == "yes":
  21.         ret=True
  22.        
  23.     elif opt.lower() == "no":
  24.         ret=False
  25.    
  26.         print("Exiting Program...")
  27.     else:
  28.         print("Please enter Yes or No\n")
  29.         break
  30.  
  31.     if ret == False:
  32.         continue

In the provided code, we simply enclosed the code with a while loop to allow for continuous execution of the program. This code is very simple and easy to do; you just append the inputs into an array list using the append function.
