If I am appending multiple elements to a list in python, is it more worth putting them all into a list then extending it? [duplicate]

Question

For example:

lst.append(x)
lst.append(25)
lst.append(y)

Would it be better to write this:

lst.extend([x, 25, y])

Answer 1

If you are adding one element to the list use append each time. If instead you have a list of several elements to add to the list use extend which will effectively append each of the iterables of the argument provided.
