Python List: Exercise - 80 with Solution
Write a Python program to insert an element at a specified position into a given list.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def insert_spec_position(x, n_list, pos):
return n_list[:pos-1]+[x]+n_list[pos-1:]
n_list = [1,1,2,3,4,4,5,1]
print("Original list:")
print(n_list)
kth_position = 3
x = 12
result = insert_spec_position(x, n_list, kth_position)
print("\nAfter inserting an element at kth position in the said list:")
print(result)
Sample Output:
Original list: [1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 1] After inserting an element at kth position in the said list: [1, 1, 12, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 1]
