Lists (2/3)

There are several operations available for manipulating lists, same as for string, such as:

len() - length of list (i.e. number of elements);
list1 + list2 - concatenation (both must be lists);
list1 * n - n copies of list1;
list.append(x) - add x (one element!) to the end of list (x can not be list) - this one rewrites your list;
list.extend((x, y, ...)) - add x,y, ... to the end of list - also rewrites your list;
list.copy() - creates a copy of your list;
list.count(x) - counts number of x in list.

For example, we can modify a bit our list with several more countries.


              12345678910
            
countries = ["USA", 9629091, "Canada", 9984670, "Germany", 357114]
# list with new countries
countries_new = ["Brazil", 8515767, "India", 3166391]

# add new data (list) to our list using concatenation
print(countries + countries_new)

# using list method
countries.extend(("Brazil", 8515767, "India", 3166391))
print(countries)

Task

Modify your last list with new data. Experiment with both methods and print the result.
