To insert 5 to the third position in list1, we use which command?

Inserting an element in list at specific index using list.insert()

In python list provides a member function insert() i.e.

list.insert(position, element)
It accepts a position and an element and inserts the element at given position in the list.

Let’s see an example,

Suppose we have a list of strings i.e.

# List of string list1 = ['Hi' , 'hello', 'at', 'this', 'there', 'from']
Now let insert ‘why’ at 3rd position in the list i.e.
# Add an element at 3rd position in the list list1.insert(3, 'why')
Index will start from 0 in list. So, element will be inserted at 3rd position i.e. after 0,1 & 2.

So, list contents will be now,

['Hi', 'hello', 'at', 'why', 'this', 'there', 'from']
