Insert a Value at a Position

Easy ⏱ 8 min 73% acceptance ★★★★★ 4.9

Write insert_value(items, index, value) that inserts value into items at position index using .insert() and returns the mutated list. If index is greater than the list length, the value should end up at the end (Python's default .insert() behavior already does this).

Example 1

Input

Output

[1, 2, 3, 4]

Explanation
