Answered by Ankur vaish

The best answer to extend vs append python append: Appends object at end.

x = [1, 2, 3]
x.append([4, 5])
print (x)
gives you: [1, 2, 3, [4, 5]]

extend: Extends list by appending elements from the iterable.

x = [1, 2, 3]
x.extend([4, 5])
print (x)
gives you: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
