Will the list content change if you use the append method to add elements from a tuple when creating a list object?

If you have a list and you use the append method to add elements from a tuple, the list's contents will change — a new element will be added to it. However, it is important to understand that append adds one entire element. If you want to add all the elements of the tuple separately, you should use extend.
Example:
my_list = [1, 2, 3]
my_tuple = (4, 5)
my_list.append(my_tuple)
print(my_list) # Will output: [1, 2, 3, (4, 5)]
# To add the tuple's elements separately:
my_list = [1, 2, 3]
my_list.extend(my_tuple)
print(my_list) # Will output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Thus, when using append, the list's contents will change, but the tuple will be added as a single element.
