Append integer to beginning of list in Python [duplicate]

Answer 1

>>>var=7
>>>array = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
>>>array.insert(0,var)
>>>array
[7, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

How it works:

array.insert(index, value)

Insert an item at a given position. The first argument is the index of the element before which to insert, so array.insert(0, x) inserts at the front of the list, and array.insert(len(array), x) is equivalent to array.append(x).Negative values are treated as being relative to the end of the array.

Answer 2

Alternative:

>>> from collections import deque

>>> my_list = deque()
>>> my_list.append(1)       # append right
>>> my_list.append(2)       # append right
>>> my_list.append(3)       # append right
>>> my_list.appendleft(100) # append left
>>> my_list

deque([100, 1, 2, 3])

>>> my_list[0]

100

[NOTE]:

collections.deque is faster than Python pure list in a loop ^{Relevant-Post}.

Answer 3

>>> a = 5
>>> li = [1, 2, 3]
>>> [a] + li  # Don't use 'list' as variable name.
[5, 1, 2, 3]

Answer 4

Another way of doing the same,

list[0:0] = [a]

Answer 5

None of these worked for me. I converted the first element to be part of a series (a single element series), and converted the second element also to be a series, and used append function.

l = ((pd.Series(<first element>)).append(pd.Series(<list of other elements>))).tolist()

Answer 6

New lists can be made by simply adding lists together.

list1 = ['value1','value2','value3']
list2 = ['value0']
newlist=list2+list1
print(newlist)
