No issues with the exercise, at all. But, I’m just curious at to why it says on the ‘insert’ example that inserting “dog” at index 1 moves everything down by 1. Surely, it moves everything UP by 1 (i.e. “bat” goes from index 1 to 2, and “cat” goes from index 2 to 3)? Or have I completely misunderstood what this means?
the indices go up indeed, but the instructions do not refer to the indices.
a list is a queue of items, so lets say you are in queue for a theme park ride. The moment someone is placed in front of you, you moved further down the queue.
