The difference between python append, extend and insert

Recently, I was learning the Python language by myself, and I was confused by the append(), extend(), and insert() methods when I saw how to add more data to a list.

Append and extend both require only one parameter and are automatically added to the end of the array. If you need to add more than one, you can use array nesting, but append treats the nested array as an object,

extend is to add the contents of the nested array to the original array as multiple objects

As a novice with zero programming knowledge, I feel it is necessary to sort it out again:

1.append() method refers to adding a data item to the end of the list.

For example: add the "Gavin" item at the end of the students list.

>>> students = [‘Cleese‘ , ‘Palin‘ , ‘Jones‘ , ‘Idle‘]
>>> students.append(‘Gavin‘)
>>> print(students)
[‘Cleese‘, ‘Palin‘, ‘Jones‘, ‘Idle‘, ‘Gavin‘]

>>> students = [‘Cleese‘ , ‘Palin‘ , ‘Jones‘ , ‘Idle‘]
>>> students.append(‘Gavin‘)
>>> print(students)
[‘Cleese‘, ‘Palin‘, ‘Jones‘, ‘Idle‘, ‘Gavin‘]
>>> students.extend([‘Kavin‘,‘Jack‘,‘Chapman‘])
>>> print(students)
[‘Cleese‘, ‘Palin‘, ‘Jones‘, ‘Idle‘, ‘Gavin‘, ‘Kavin‘, ‘Jack‘, ‘Chapman‘]

>>> students = [‘Cleese‘ , ‘Palin‘ , ‘Jones‘ , ‘Idle‘]
>>> students.insert(1, ‘Gilliam‘)
>>> print(students)
[‘Cleese‘, ‘Gilliam‘, ‘Palin‘, ‘Jones‘, ‘Idle‘]。
