How to allow list append() method to return the new list

Question

I want to do something like this:

myList = [10,20,30]
yourList = myList.append (40)

Unfortunately, list append does not return the modified

Answer 1

Just to expand on Storstamp's answer

You only need to do myList.append(40)

It will append it to the original list,now you can return the variable containing the original list.

If you are working with very large lists this is the way to go.
