What is extend() function in python?

Question

See I know the difference in both append() and extend() function but, I'm confused in extend() function as I'm finding it similar to append...can u tell the example of extend(). Please don't share code just tell me the small example.

Answer 1

a=[1,2,3]
a.append([4,5])
print(a)
[1,2,3,[4,5]]
a.extend([5,6])
print(a)
[1,2,3,[4,5],5,6]

Answer 2

Append appends a single item.

So if you append a list, it will be in there as a whole.

Extend takes an iterable (list, tuple, str whatever) and inserts the elements one by one!
