inefficient append class pylistdef __init__(self)self items [ the append method is used to add commands to the sequence def append(self,item)self items self items [item the code in sect appends new item to the list as follows the item is made into list by putting [andaround it we should be careful about how we say this the item itself is not changed new list is constructed from the item the two lists are concatenated together using the operator the operator is an accessor method that does not change either original list the concatenation creates new list from the elements in the two lists the assignment of self items to this new list updates the pylist object so it now refers to the new list the question we want to ask ishow does this append method perform as the size of the pylist growslet' consider the first time that the append method is called how many elements are in the list that is referenced by self itemszerorightand there is always one element in [itemso the append method must access one element of list to form the new listwhich also has one element in it what happens the second time the append method is calledthis timethere is one element in the list referenced by self items and again one element in [itemnowtwo elements must be accessed to form the new list the next time append is called three elements must be accessed to form the new list of coursethis pattern continues for each new element that is appended to the pylist when the nth element is appended to the sequence there will have to be elements copied to form the new list overallhow many elements must be accessed to append elements proof by induction we have already established that accessing each element of list takes constant amount of time soif we want to calculate the amount of time it takes to append elements to the pylist we would have to add up all the list accesses and multiply by the amount of time it takes to access list element plus the time it takes to store list element to count the total number of access and store operations we must start with the number of access and store operations for copying the list the first time an element is appended that' one element copied the second append requires two this copy belongs to 'acha
