As we start exploring lists further in the next exercises, we will encounter the concept of a method.

In Python, for any specific data-type ( strings, booleans, lists, etc. ) there is built-in functionality that we can use to create, manipulate, and even delete our data. We call this built-in functionality a method.

For lists, methods will follow the form of list_name.method(). Some methods will require an input value that will go between the parenthesis of the method ( ).

An example of a popular list method is .append(), which allows us to add an element to the end of a list.

append_example = [ 'This', 'is', 'an', 'example']
append_example.append('list')

print(append_example)

Will output:

['This', 'is', 'an', 'example', 'list']
