22,989 PointsThey do essentially the same thing in this case, except you can't use .append on all things.
Say you had x = 5 and you wanted to add 5 to it, you could do x += 5, you couldn't do x.append(5) though.

10,760 PointsI think we can also use .append() in Logan's case. I used .append(5) and it returned [5,5].
