Is the order of these steps important? Explain your answer.

Consider the following sequence of steps to add a node to the front of a linked list:
- Set the reference field to refer to the first node in the current list.
- Set the reference to the front of the list to refer to the new node.

Yes, the order of these steps is important. If the order is reversed, that is, the second step is performed first,
then any existing nodes in the list will be lost. The node that is being added must refer to the first node in the list before the
reference to the list is reset. If the reference to the list is reset before the new node refers to the list, then there will be no
reference to the rest of the list.
