  [using append]

As William pointed out, you can make a list all at once using

  lst = [None]*100

But 100 is not a large number, so you should just write the program in
the most natural way, and worry about optimizing it only when necessary.
For example, on my laptop I can append 100,000,000 integers to a list in
3.3 seconds.
