# Assign range of elements to List in Python

PythonServer Side ProgrammingProgramming

Lists are very frequently used data container in Python. While using lists we may come across a situation where the elements of the list maybe a sequence of numbers. We can add this sequence of numbers to a list using many Python functions. In this article we will explore different ways of doing that.

## With range and extend

The extent function allows us to increase the number of elements in a list. Will use the range function and apply extend to the list so that all the required sequence of numbers are added at the end of the list.

## Example

Live Demo

listA = [55,91,3]

# Given list
print("Given list: ", listA)

# Apply extend()
listA.extend(range(4))

# print result
print("The new list : ",listA)

## Output

Running the above code gives us the following result −

Given list: [55, 91, 3]
The new list : [55, 91, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3]

## With * and range

The * operator can expand the list with the advantage of adding the elements at any position. We also use the range function again toward the sequence of numbers.

## Example

listA = [55,91,3]

# Given list
print("Given list: ", listA)

# Apply *
Newlist = [55,91,*range(4),3]

# print result
print("The new list : ",Newlist)

## Output

Running the above code gives us the following result −

Given list: [55, 91, 3]
The new list : [55, 91, 0, 1, 2, 3, 3]
