How to append one value to every tuple within a list?

append, list, python, sublist, tuples

Solution

You can use a list comprehension to do both of the things you're looking to do.

To prefix:

desired_list = [[value]+list(tup) for tup in tuple_list]

To suffix:

desired_list = [list(tup)+[value] for tup in tuple_list]

The `list()` call transforms each tuple into a list, and adding another list which contains only `value` adds that value to each list once it has been created.

Problem

How to append 1 value to every tuple within a list? ``` tuple_list = [('a','b'),('c','d'),('e','f')] value = 111 Desired_List = [(111,'a','b'),(111,'c','d'),(111,'e','f')] ``` I've tried the following: ``` for x in tuple_list: x.append(111) for x in tuple_list: x + '111' ``` I prefer sublists over tuples, so is there anyway to change the tuples to sublists as well? Notes: It actually doesn't matter whether the 111 is in the first index or the last index of the tuple.
