update an element of a list

Say I have a list ["apple", "berry", "cherry", "banana"] .
How do I insert additional info into an element so the list becomes something like
["red apple", "red berry", "red cherry", "red banana"] ?
The idea is that I change the value of an element just by adding something to the element, without having to name the original value.

>Solution :

You can achieve this by using a list comprehension in Python.

# Original list
fruits = ["apple", "berry", "cherry", "banana"]

# Inserting additional info into each element
fruits_with_info = [f"red {fruit}" for fruit in fruits]

# Display the modified list
print(fruits_with_info)

Output:

['red apple', 'red berry', 'red cherry', 'red banana']

In this code:

We iterate over each element (fruit) in the original list using a list comprehension.
For each fruit, we prepend "red " to it using f-string formatting (f"red {fruit}"), creating the modified element.
The modified elements are collected into a new list, fruits_with_info.
Finally, we print the modified list to verify the changes.
