Command Flow

Usage Example

Suppose the list in myList is ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'] and you want to extract the element at index 1.

// Variable definitions
myList = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
element = ''

// Call the command to extract the element at index 1
itemFromList(myList, 1, element)

// Return the extracted element through addResult
addResult(element)

Since index 1 corresponds to the element 'banana' in the myList , the itemFromList() command will extract 'banana' and store it in the variable element . The element variable will be returned through addResult(element) , resulting in the following output:

"banana"
