Prepending - Definition, Examples, and Usage

Definition:

In computer programming, prepending refers to the act of adding new elements or data at the beginning of an existing list, string, or array.

Senses and Usages:

Sense 1 - Programming:

In programming, prepending is commonly used to insert items or values in collections such as lists, arrays, or linked lists, resulting in a modified version with the new elements positioned at the beginning.

Example:

// JavaScript example
let myArray = [3, 4, 5];
myArray.unshift(1, 2);
console.log(myArray); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Sense 2 - Web Design:

In web design, prepending can be used to insert content at the beginning of an HTML element or within a parent element, often accomplished through JavaScript or the DOM manipulation. This technique is useful for dynamically adding content to a webpage.

Example:

  <li>Item 1</li>
  <li>Item 2</li>
  <li>Item 3</li>
