# Python Append List Items

intList = []
 
number = int(input("Please enter the Total Number of List Elements: "))
for i in range(1, number + 1):
    value = int(input("Please enter the Value of %d Element : " %i))
    intList.append(value)
    
item = int(input("Please enter the New Item to append : " ))
print("Original List Items are : ", intList)
intList.append(item)
print("New List Items are      : ", intList)
