Extend a list
If you can change elements in a list, you sure want to be able to add elements to it, right? You can use the +
operator:
x = ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
y = x + ["e", "f"]
You just won the lottery, awesome! You decide to build a poolhouse and a garage. Can you add the information to the areas
list?
This is a part of the course
