Syntax error

[Meshackdd]

inserting items into a List

syntax

lst = ['item1', 'item2']
lst.insert(index, item)

fruits = ['banana', 'orange', 'mango', 'lemon']
fruits.insert(2, 'apple') # insert apple between orange and mango
print(fruits) # ['banana', 'orange', 'apple', 'mango', 'lemon']
fruits.insert(3, 'lime') # ['banana', 'orange', 'apple', 'lime', 'mango', 'lemon']
print(fruits)

The above code isn't running for me, keeps showing me ERROR message, same with adding g removing lists, removing items using pop.
Is it that theirs an extension I need to add or download on my VS code??? Please HELP...

Could you please describe the error? Put the error message?

There was an error in the code because the variable index and item were not defined before using them in the insert() method on the list lst.

lst = ['item1', 'item2']
index = 1 ###here you can put example index variable###
item = 'new_item' ###here is your new_item variable###
lst.insert(index, item) ###now method insert() can operate on defined variables.###

fruits = ['banana', 'orange', 'mango', 'lemon']
fruits.insert(2, 'apple') # insert apple between orange and mango
print(fruits) # ['banana', 'orange', 'apple', 'mango', 'lemon']
fruits.insert(3, 'lime') # ['banana', 'orange', 'apple', 'lime', 'mango', 'lemon']
print(fruits)

###Note that if you defined these values after calling the insert() method, the code would also not work, since the values must be defined before using the method.###

You can also try print(lst) to make sure that your code works.
