Insert question

Question

words=["a","b","c"]
Can I insert more than one item into words without writing so many words.insert()?

Answer 1

You can use + to add single items or whole lists to an existing list. I've written an example for you:

words = ["a","b","c"]
more_words = ["d","e","f"]
best_words = words + more_words + ["g"]

print (best_words)

for char in "hijk":
best_words += [char]

print (best_words)

If you run it, you'll see, that it will print a list containing all letters from "a" to "g" or "k" respectively.

Answer 2

One way to do it would be to just add them to a big list and use sort(). You can specify a key function if necessary.

Whether this is more efficient than repeated insertion will depend on your data though.

Answer 3

@Tobi
So I can only write each list separately and than add them?
What if I want to add more than one item into different positions?Like add 2&5 into[1,3,4,6] and make it [1,2,3,4,5,6]
