I presume you're using C as the example language? Most modern languages have an append-to-list method/function, so your example isn't really applicable in those langauges. For example, ArrayList#add() for Java or Vec::push[1] for Rust, etc. (Yes, these are technically dynamically sized arrays, but you can always reserve the necessary amount of space up front if you so desire.)
