I’m new to programming a bit, and am learning python so I can learn flask, using the python crash course book. I was learning about list comprehension but it briefly talks about it. If I do

list[list.append(value) for value in range(1, 20)]

it doesn’t work. Would this be some sort of recursive expression that is not possible?

    Sure you can. As others have said, a list comprehension returns a new list. See the documentation.

    What are you trying to do though? Append a list comprehension to an existing list?

    See a modified version of @[email protected]’s code from their comment.

    def double(x):
  return 2 * x
a = list(range(10))
a.extend(double(value) for value in range(5))

# a has 15 elements
print(a)
