Insert item in middle of roArray

Push and pop are great but what if you need to insert an item in the middle or an array without overwriting the item?

sub main()

    list = [1,2,3,4]
    ' Expectresult: [1,"foo",2,3,4]
    print arrayInsert( list, "middle", 1 ) : printList( list )

    list = [0,1,2,3,4]
    print arrayInsert( list, "first", 0 ): printList( list )

    list = [0,1,2,3,4]
    print arrayInsert( list, "beforeLast", 4 ): printList( list )

    list = [0,1,2,3,4]
    print arrayInsert( list, "last", 5 ): printList( list )

    list = []
    print arrayInsert( list, "empty", 0 ): printList( list )

    list = [0]
    print arrayInsert( list, "at-last", 0 ): printList( list )

    list = [0]
    print arrayInsert( list, "tail", 1 ): printList( list )

    list = [0]
    print arrayInsert( list, "too-high", 2 ): printList( list )

end sub


' This function mutates the list
function arrayInsert( list, newItem, insertIndex% ) as boolean

    ' Index out of bounds
    if insertIndex% < 0 or insertIndex% > list.count() then
        print "Item index out of bounds"
        return false
    end if


    ' List is empty or inserting at last item
    if list.count() = insertIndex% then
        list.push(newItem)
        return true
    end if


    tempList = []

    for i = 0 to list.count() - 1
        if i = insertIndex% then
            tempList.push( newItem )
        end if
        tempList.push(list[i])
    end for

    list.clear()
    list.append(tempList)
    tempList.clear()
    tempList = invalid

    return true

end function

sub printList( list )
    print "[ ";
    for each item in list
        print item; " ";
    end for
    print " ]"
    print
end sub
