Help me create this code please!!

Write a function hide_inside that consumes a list, an item, and a nonnegative integer pos.

Your function should produce a new list that contains all the items of the input list with the new item inserted in position pos. For example,




hide_inside(["a", "b"], "cat", 1]

will produce ["a", "cat", "b"]. If pos is greater than the length of the list, the item should appear at the end of the list. For example,




hide_inside(["a", "b"], "cat", 20]

will produce ["a", "b", "cat"].

But MODIFIED so that it has a default value such that if no position value is entered it will assume a value of zero. Call you function hide_inside_default.

Hi, I am just learning Python.So pardon any silly mistake.

I think the list_name.insert(position_u wanna_insert , the_value_u_wanna_insert) will do the work just fine, r8?

// code is less elegant but does the work

def hide_inside(input_list,item,pos):

  out_list = []

  if pos > len(input_list):

    out_list.extend(input_list)

    out_list.extend(item)

  elif pos <= 0:

    out_list.extend(item)

    out_list.extend(input_list)

  else:

    out_list.extend(input_list[:pos])

    out_list.extend(item)

    out_list.extend((input_list[pos:]))

    

  return out_list

// data 

input_list = ['a','c']

pos = 2

item = 'd'

// output

print hide_inside(input_list,item,pos)
