Append a variable to a list in python

Question

here my_list is a list containing string(alphabets). i have to select (no. user input) of alphabets randomly. my task is to add these (no. user input) to a list and then do a little bit further operation with that list. my problem here is I am unable to add rndm to my checklist .

here is m function

for i in range(0, n_subs):    
    rndm=my_list[random.randint(0, n_subs)]
    checklist.insert(rndm)
print checklist#check

Answer 1

insert() needs two parameters - index and object.

If you want to append to the end of the list, just use append().

Answer 2

You need to use the append function to append values to the end of a list.

So instead of doing checklist.insert(rndm), do checklist.append(rndm).

In case you want to insert values at specific location, use checklist.insert(i, rndm), where i is the index of the element before which you want to insert.
