Why did append give a nested list?
Short answer. append adds the whole list as one item.
How do you add many items separately?
Use extend().
Remember
| list(): builds a list |
| append: one item at the end |
| extend: many items |
| insert: at an index |
Append two items, get a nested list. Why? List of range of two builds zero and one. Append adds five, six as one item. Extend adds items separately. List builds a list. Append adds one. Extend adds many. Insert adds at an index.
