LEARN THE CONCEPT

Understand it, then try it.

List stores entries in order and supports insertion at a chosen position. Indexes start at zero, so index one is the second position. Insert moves later entries along instead of replacing them. Joining the list with a separator makes the updated playlist easy to read in one line.

Program.cs

1using System;2using System.Collections.Generic;3var playlist = new List<string> { "Intro", "Waves", "Finale" };4playlist.Insert(1, "Interlude");5Console.WriteLine(string.Join(" / ", playlist));

Use C# 10+ in a .NET 6+ console project. Each example is a complete Program.cs using top-level statements; the shown using directives are sufficient. Run missions separately.

Track the values line by line. Predict the result before running this example in your own editor.
