insert( ) FUNCTION

The 'insert( )' Function is used to insert new values at any specific position in the List.

Let us say, we have a List that contains three names, 'Mohan', 'Kriti' and 'Salim'. And we want to insert a new name 'Nikhil' in between 'Mohan' and 'Kriti'.

Example :

x = ["Mohan", "Kriti", "Salim"]
x.insert(1,"Nikhil")
print(x)

Output :

['Mohan', 'Nikhil', 'Kriti', 'Salim']

So, in the above code we have created a 'List' and initialised to the variable 'x'.

x = ["Mohan", "Kriti", "Salim"]

Below is how the values are positioned in the List,

Now, if we see the above diagram, 'Kriti' resides at position/index '1'. So, what we do is,just insert the new name 'Nikhil' at the position/index '1' using the 'insert( )' Function.

And 'Kriti' gets shifted to index/position '2'.

x.insert(1,"Nikhil")

And we get the below output,

['Mohan', 'Nikhil', 'Kriti', 'Salim']
