Name

Array.concat( ): concatenate arrays — ECMAScript v3

Synopsis

array.concat(value, ...)

Arguments

value, ...

Any number of values to be concatenated with array.

Returns

A new array, which is formed by concatenating each of the specified arguments to array.

Description

concat( ) creates and returns a new array that is the result of concatenating each of its arguments to array. It does not modify array. If any of the arguments to concat( ) is itself an array, the elements of that array are concatenated, rather than the array itself.

Example

var a = [1,2,3];
a.concat(4, 5)          // Returns [1,2,3,4,5]
a.concat([4,5]);        // Returns [1,2,3,4,5]
a.concat([4,5],[6,7])   // Returns [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
a.concat(4, [5,[6,7]])  // Returns [1,2,3,4,5,[6,7]]
