hey, how can one add a string value into a list.
for example “206” adding it to [1, 2, 4, 5, 6].
Thanks 
At the end or at the beginning?
at the end
and how do i convert the same string in to a list?
“206” as a string into [206] as a list
You can use https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Kernel.html#++/2 and do
[1, 2, 4, 5, 6] ++ ["206"]
Take a note that adding at the end is often an expensive operation in Elixir since the lists are represented as linked lists under the hood
If you want to add at a concrete positions use https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/List.html#insert_at/3
At the beginning use ["206" | [1, 2, 4, 5, 6]]
