[edit] ActionScript

var array1:Array = new Array(1, 2, 3);
var array2:Array = new Array(4, 5, 6);
var array3:Array = array1.concat(array2); //[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

[edit] Ada

In Ada arrays are concatenated using the operation &. It works with any one dimensioned array:

type T is array (Positive range <>) of Integer;
X : T := (1, 2, 3);
Y : T := X & (4, 5, 6); -- Concatenate X and (4, 5, 6)

[edit] ALGOL 68

Works with: ALGOL 68 version Standard - no extensions to language used

Works with: ALGOL 68G version Any - tested with release 1.18.0-9h.tiny

Includes operators for appending and prefixing an array to an existing flexible array:

MODE ARGTYPE = INT;
MODE ARGLIST = FLEX[0]ARGTYPE;
 
OP + = (ARGLIST a, b)ARGLIST: (
[LWB a:UPB a - LWB a + 1 + UPB b - LWB b + 1 ]ARGTYPE out;
(
out[LWB a:UPB a]:=a,
out[UPB a+1:]:=b
);
out
);
 
# Append #
OP +:= = (REF ARGLIST lhs, ARGLIST rhs)ARGLIST: lhs := lhs + rhs;
OP PLUSAB = (REF ARGLIST lhs, ARGLIST rhs)ARGLIST: lhs := lhs + rhs;
 
# Prefix #
OP +=: = (ARGLIST lhs, REF ARGLIST rhs)ARGLIST: rhs := lhs + rhs;
OP PLUSTO = (ARGLIST lhs, REF ARGLIST rhs)ARGLIST: rhs := lhs + rhs;
 
ARGLIST a := (1,2),
b := (3,4,5);
 
print(("a + b",a + b, new line));
 
VOID(a +:= b);
print(("a +:= b", a, new line));
 
VOID(a +=: b);
print(("a +=: b", b, new line))
a + b         +1         +2         +3         +4         +5
a +:= b         +1         +2         +3         +4         +5
a +=: b         +1         +2         +3         +4         +5         +3         +4         +5

[edit] AutoHotkey

AutoHotkey does not have real Arrays, but the user can implement them quite easily. For example:

List1 = 1,2,3
List2 = 4,5,6
 
List2Array(List1 , "Array1_")
List2Array(List2 , "Array2_")
 
ConcatArrays("Array1_", "Array2_", "MyArray")
MsgBox, % Array2List("MyArray")
 
 
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ConcatArrays(A1, A2, A3) { ; concatenates the arrays A1 and A2 to A3
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
local i := 0
%A3%0 := %A1%0 + %A2%0
Loop, % %A1%0
i++, %A3%%i% := %A1%%A_Index%
Loop, % %A2%0
i++, %A3%%i% := %A2%%A_Index%
}
 
 
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
List2Array(List, Array) { ; creates an array from a comma separated list
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
global
StringSplit, %Array%, List, `,
}
 
 
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Array2List(Array) { ; returns a comma separated list from an array
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loop, % %Array%0
List .= (A_Index = 1 ? "" : ",") %Array%%A_Index%
Return, List
}

Message box shows:

1,2,3,4,5,6

[edit] C

A way to concatenate two C arrays when you know their size (and usually so it is)

#include <stdio.h>
 
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
 
#define ARRAY_CONCAT(TYPE, A, An, B, Bn) \
(TYPE *)array_concat((const void *)(A), (An), (const void *)(B), (Bn), sizeof(TYPE));

 
void *array_concat(const void *a, size_t an,
const void *b, size_t bn, size_t s)
{
char *p = malloc(s * (an+bn));
memcpy(p, a, an*s);
memcpy(p + an*s, b, bn*s);
return p;
}
 
// testing
const int a[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
const int b[] = { 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 };
 
int main()
{
int i;
 
int *c = ARRAY_CONCAT(int, a, 5, b, 5);
 
for(i=0; i < 10; i++) {
printf("%d\n", c[i]);
}
 
free(c); // it is up to the programmer to free
// the concatenated array
return 0;
}

[edit] C++

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
std::vector<int> a(3), b(4);
a[0] = 11; a[1] = 12; a[2] = 13;
b[0] = 21; b[1] = 22; b[2] = 23; b[3] = 24;
 
a.reserve(a.size() + b.size());
a.insert(a.end(), b.begin(), b.end());
 
for (int i = 0; i < a.size(); ++i)
std::cout << "a[" << i << "] = " << a[i] << "\n";
}

[edit] C#

using System;
 
namespace RosettaCode
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int[] a = { 1, 2, 3 };
int[] b = { 4, 5, 6 };
 
int[] c = new int[a.Length + b.Length];
a.CopyTo(c, 0);
b.CopyTo(c, a.Length);
 
foreach(int n in c)
{
Console.WriteLine(n.ToString());
}
}
}
}

Alternatively, using LINQ extension methods:

Works with: C# version 3

using System.Linq;
 
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int[] a = { 1, 2, 3 };
int[] b = { 4, 5, 6 };
 
int[] c = a.Concat(b).ToArray();
}
}

[edit] Clojure

(concat [1 2 3] [4 5 6])

The inputs can be any collection, including Java arrays, and returns a lazy sequence of the elements.


[edit] Common Lisp

concatenate is a general function for concatenating any type of sequence. It takes the type of sequence to produce, followed by any number of sequences of any type.

(concatenate 'vector #(0 1 2 3) #(4 5 6 7))
=> #(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7)

[edit] D

import std.stdio: writeln;
 
void main() {
int[] a = [1, 2];
int[] b = [4, 5, 6];
int[] c = a ~ b;
 
writeln(a, " ~ ", b, " = ", c);
}

Output:

[1, 2] ~ [4, 5, 6] = [1, 2, 4, 5, 6]

[edit] E

? [1,2] + [3,4]
# value: [1, 2, 3, 4]

[edit] Efene

using the ++ operator and the lists.append function

 
@public
run = fn () {
A = [1, 2, 3, 4]
B = [5, 6, 7, 8]
 
C = A ++ B
D = lists.append([A, B])
 
io.format("~p~n", [C])
io.format("~p~n", [D])
}

[edit] Erlang

In erlang, you can use the ++ operator or lists:append, which is implemented via ++.

On the shell,

 
1> [1, 2, 3] ++ [4, 5, 6].
[1,2,3,4,5,6]
2> lists:append([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]).
[1,2,3,4,5,6]
3>
 


[edit] F#

Array concatenation.

let a = [|1; 2; 3|]
let b = [|4; 5; 6;|]
let c = Array.append a b

List concatenation (@ and List.append are equivalent).

let x = [1; 2; 3]
let y = [4; 5; 6]
let z1 = a @ b
let z2 = List.append x y

[edit] Factor

append

Example:

( scratchpad ) USE: sequences
( scratchpad ) { 1 2 } { 3 4 } append .
{ 1 2 3 4 }

[edit] Fortran

Works with: Fortran version 90 and later

program Concat_Arrays
implicit none
 
integer :: a(3) = (/ 1, 2, 3 /)
integer :: b(3) = (/ 4, 5, 6 /)
integer, allocatable :: c(:)
 
allocate(c(size(a)+size(b)))
c(1:size(a)) = a
c(size(a)+1:size(a)+size(b)) = b
 
write(*,*) c
 
end program Concat_Arrays

[edit] Go

Easier to make the generic version accept any number of arguments, and loop trough them. Otherwise there will be lots of code duplication.

package main
 
import (
"reflect"
"fmt"
)
 
// Generic version
func ArrayConcat(arrays ...interface{}) interface{} {
if len(arrays) == 0 {
panic("Need at least one arguemnt")
}
var vals = make([]*reflect.SliceValue, len(arrays))
var arrtype *reflect.SliceType
var totalsize int
for i,a := range arrays {
v := reflect.NewValue(a)
switch t := v.Type().(type) {
case *reflect.SliceType:
if arrtype == nil {
arrtype = t
} else if t != arrtype {
panic("Unequal types")
}
vals[i] = v.(*reflect.SliceValue)
totalsize += vals[i].Len()
default: panic("not a slice")
}
}
ret := reflect.MakeSlice(arrtype,totalsize,totalsize)
targ := ret
for _,v := range vals {
reflect.ArrayCopy(targ, v)
targ = targ.Slice(v.Len(),targ.Len())
}
return ret.Interface()
}
 
// Type specific version
func ArrayConcatInts(a, b []int) []int {
ret := make([]int, len(a) + len(b))
copy(ret, a)
copy(ret[len(a):], b)
return ret
}
 
func main() {
test1_a, test1_b := []int{1,2,3}, []int{4,5,6}
test1_c := ArrayConcatInts(test1_a, test1_b)
fmt.Println(test1_a, " + ", test1_b, " = ", test1_c)
 
test2_a, test2_b := []string{"a","b","c"}, []string{"d","e","f"}
test2_c := ArrayConcat(test2_a, test2_b).([]string)
fmt.Println(test2_a, " + ", test2_b, " = ", test2_c)
}

Output:

[1 2 3]  +  [4 5 6]  =  [1 2 3 4 5 6]
[a b c]  +  [d e f]  =  [a b c d e f]

[edit] Haskell

A list is in Haskell one of the most common composite data types (constructed from other types). In the documentation we read for the append operation ++:

(++) :: [a] -> [a] -> [a]
Append two lists, i.e.:
 
[x1, ..., xm] ++ [y1, ..., yn] == [x1, ..., xm, y1, ..., yn]
[x1, ..., xm] ++ [y1, ...] == [x1, ..., xm, y1, ...]

If the first list is not finite, the result is the first list.

[edit] HicEst

REAL :: a(7), b(3), c(10)
 
c = a
DO i = 1, LEN(b)
c(i + LEN(a)) = b(i)
ENDDO

[edit] Icon and Unicon

[edit] Icon

Both languages have list concatenation built in. Lists are fully dynamic arrays which can be truncated or extended at either end.

 
procedure main()
L1 := [1, 2, 3, 4]
L2 := [11, 12, 13, 14]
L3 := L1 ||| L2
 
sep := ""
every writes(sep, !L3) do
sep := ", "
write()
end
 

[edit] Unicon

This Icon solution works in Unicon.

[edit] IDL

Array concatenation can mean different things, depending on the number of dimensions of the arguments and the result. In the simplest case, with 1-dimensional arrays to begin with, there are two obvious ways to concatenate them. If my arrays are these:

> a = [1,2,3]
> b = [4,5,6]
> help,a
     A               INT       = Array[3]
> help,b
     B               INT       = Array[3]
> print,a
     1       2       3
> print,b
     4       5       6

Then they can be concatenated "at the ends":

> help,[a,b]
     <Expression>    INT       = Array[6]
> print,[a,b]
      1       2       3       4       5       6

or "at the sides":

> help,[[a],[b]]
     <Expression>    INT       = Array[3, 2]
> print,[[a],[b]]
      1       2       3
      4       5       6

Note that this requires that the arrays have the same size at the side at which they are concatenated:

> b = transpose(b)
> help,b
     B               INT       = Array[1, 3]
> print,b
      4
      5
      6
> print,[a,b]
Unable to concatenate variables because the dimensions do not agree: B.
Execution halted at: $MAIN$          
> print,[[a],[b]]
Unable to concatenate variables because the dimensions do not agree: B.
Execution halted at: $MAIN$    

This can get a lot more complicated as a 3x4x5-element three-dimensional array can be concatenated with a 5x2x3-element array at exactly two "surfaces".

[edit] Ioke

iik> [1,2,3] + [3,2,1]
[1,2,3] + [3,2,1]
+> [1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1]

[edit] J

Solution: ,

Example:

   array1 =: 1 2 3
array2 =: 4 5 6
array1 , array2
1 2 3 4 5 6

Of course, in J, array concatenation works (consistently) on arrays of any rank or dimension.

The verb , concatenates by treating the argument array with the largest number of dimensions as a list. Other primary verbs concatenate along other axes.

   ]ab=: 3 3 $ 'aaabbbccc'
aaa
bbb
ccc
]wx=: 3 3 $ 'wxyz'
wxy
zwx
yzw
ab , wx
aaa
bbb
ccc
wxy
zwx
yzw
ab ,. wx
aaawxy
bbbzwx
cccyzw
ab ,: wx
aaa
bbb
ccc
 
wxy
zwx
yzw
$ ab , wx NB. applies to first (highest) axis
6 3
$ ab ,. wx NB. applies to last (atomic) axis
3 6
$ ab ,: wx NB. applies to new (higher) axis
2 3 3

[edit] Java

From [1]:

public static Object[] objArrayConcat(Object[] o1, Object[] o2) {
 
Object[] ret = new Object[o1.length + o2.length];
 
System.arraycopy(o1, 0, ret, 0, o1.length);
System.arraycopy(o2, 0, ret, o1.length, o2.length);
 
return ret;
}

Or with Collections simply call addAll:

Collection list1, list2, list1And2;
//...list1 and list2 are instantiated...
list1And2 = new ArrayList(list1); //or any other Collection you want
list1And2.addAll(list2);

[edit] JavaScript

The Array.concat() method returns a new array comprised of this array joined with other array(s) and/or value(s).

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

[edit] Mathematica

Join[{1,2,3}, {4,5,6}]

[edit] Objective-C

with immutable arrays:

NSArray *arr1 = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInt:1],
[NSNumber numberWithInt:2],
[NSNumber numberWithInt:3], nil];
NSArray *arr2 = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInt:4],
[NSNumber numberWithInt:5],
[NSNumber numberWithInt:6], nil];
NSArray *arr3 = [arr1 arrayByAddingObjectsFromArray:arr2];

or adding onto a mutable array:

NSArray *arr1 = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInt:1],
[NSNumber numberWithInt:2],
[NSNumber numberWithInt:3], nil];
NSArray *arr2 = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInt:4],
[NSNumber numberWithInt:5],
[NSNumber numberWithInt:6], nil];
NSMutableArray *arr3 = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:arr1];
[arr3 addObjectsFromArray:arr2];

[edit] MATLAB

To arrays are concatenated by placing the two arrays between a pair of square brackets. A space between the two array names will concatenate them horizontally, and a semi-colon between array names will concatenate vertically.

>> a = [1 2 3]
 
a =
 
1 2 3
 
>> b = [4 5 6]
 
b =
 
4 5 6
 
>> concat = [a b]
 
concat =
 
1 2 3 4 5 6
 
>> concat = [a;b]
 
concat =
 
1 2 3
4 5 6

[edit] OCaml

It is more natural in OCaml to use lists instead of arrays:

# let list1 = [1; 2; 3];;
val list1 : int list = [1; 2; 3]
# let list2 = [4; 5; 6];;
val list2 : int list = [4; 5; 6]
# let list1and2 = list1 @ list2;;
val list1and2 : int list = [1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6]

If you want to use arrays:

# let array1 = [|1; 2; 3|];;
val array1 : int array = [|1; 2; 3|]
# let array2 = [|4; 5; 6|];;
val array2 : int array = [|4; 5; 6|]
# let array1and2 = Array.append array1 array2;;
val array1and2 : int array = [|1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6|]

[edit] Oz

List are concatenated with List.append (shortcut: Append). Tuples are concatened with Tuple.append. Arrays do exist in Oz, but are rarely used.

%% concatenating 2 lists
{Append [a b] [c d]} = [a b c d]
 
%% concatenating 2 tuples
{Tuple.append t(1 2 3) u(4 5 6)} = u(1 2 3 4 5 6)

[edit] Perl

In Perl, arrays placed into list context are flattened:

my @arr1 = (1, 2, 3);
my @arr2 = (4, 5, 6);
my @arr3 = (@arr1, @arr2);

The push function appends elements onto an existing array:

my @arr1 = (1, 2, 3);
my @arr2 = (4, 5, 6);
push @arr1, @arr2;
print "@arr1\n"; # prints "1 2 3 4 5 6"

[edit] Perl 6

# the comma ',' can be used to concatenate arrays:
sub concatenateArrays(@a, @b) {
@a, @b
}
 
my @a1 = (1,2,3);
my @a2 = (2,3,4);
concatenateArrays(@a1,@a2).join(", ").say;

[edit] PHP

$arr1 = array(1, 2, 3);
$arr2 = array(4, 5, 6);
$arr3 = array_merge($arr1, $arr2);

[edit] PicoLisp

PicoLisp has no built-in array data type. Lists are used instead.

There are destructive concatenations:

: (setq  A (1 2 3)  B '(a b c))
-> (a b c)
: (conc A B) # Concatenate lists in 'A' and 'B'
-> (1 2 3 a b c)
: A
-> (1 2 3 a b c) # Side effect: List in 'A' is modified!

and non-destructive concatenations:

: (setq  A (1 2 3)  B '(a b c))
-> (a b c)
: (append A B) # Append lists in 'A' and 'B'
-> (1 2 3 a b c)
: A
-> (1 2 3)
: B
-> (a b c) # Arguments are not modified

[edit] Python

The + operator concatenates two lists and returns a new list. The list.extend method appends elements of another list to the receiver.

arr1 = [1, 2, 3]
arr2 = [4, 5, 6]
arr3 = [7, 8, 9]
arr4 = arr1 + arr2
assert arr4 == [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
arr4.extend(arr3)
assert arr4 == [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Array concat ( arr1, arr2, arr3 ) // res0: Array[Int] = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

[edit] Scheme

(append list ...) returns a list consisting of the elements of the first list followed by the elements of the other lists.

Example:

(append '(x) '(y))
(append '(a) '(b c d))
(append '(a (b)) '((c)))

Output:

(x y)
(a b c d)
(a (b) (c))

[edit] Slate

The binary operation of concatenation is made with the ; (semi-colon) from the type Sequence. It is also available for appending Sequences to WriteStreams.

 
{1. 2. 3. 4. 5} ; {6. 7. 8. 9. 10}
 

[edit] Smalltalk

Concatenation (appending) is made with the method , (comma), present in classes SequenceableCollection, ArrayedCollection and their subclasses (e.g. Array, String, OrderedCollection ...)

|a b c|
a := #(1 2 3 4 5).
b := #(6 7 8 9 10).
c := a,b.
c displayNl.

*       # Concatenate 2 arrays (vectors)
define('cat(a1,a2)i,j') :(cat_end)
cat cat = array(prototype(a1) + prototype(a2))
cat1 i = i + 1; cat<i> = a1<i> :s(cat1)
cat2 j = j + 1; cat<i - 1 + j> = a2<j> :s(cat2)f(return)
cat_end
 
* # Fill arrays
str1 = '1 2 3 4 5'; arr1 = array(5)
loop i = i + 1; str1 len(p) span('0123456789') . arr1<i> @p :s(loop)
str2 = '6 7 8 9 10'; arr2 = array(5)
loop2 j = j + 1; str2 len(q) span('0123456789') . arr2<j> @q :s(loop2)
 
* # Test and display
arr3 = cat(arr1,arr2)
loop3 k = k + 1; str3 = str3 arr3<k> ' ' :s(loop3)
output = str1
output = str2
output = str3
end

Output:

1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

[edit] Tcl

set a {1 2 3}
set b {4 5 6}
set ab [concat $a $b]; # 1 2 3 4 5 6

Note that in the Tcl language, “arrays” are hash maps of strings to variables, so the notion of concatenation doesn't really apply. What other languages (usually) call arrays are “lists” in Tcl.

[edit] TI-89 BASIC

If a and b are lists, augment(a, b) concatenates them in the usual fashion. If a and b are matrices, then augment(a, b) produces a matrix whose columns are the columns of a followed by the columns of b, i.e. an augmented matrix.

■ augment({1,2}, {3,4})
    {1,2,3,4}
■ augment([[1][2]], [[3][4]])
    [[1,3][2,4]]

That last example as displayed in pretty-printing mode:

\operatorname{augment} \left(\begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 2\end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix}3 \\ 4\end{bmatrix}\right)

\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 3 \\ 
2 & 4
\end{bmatrix}

Concatenation in the other direction may of course be done by transposition:

■ augment([[x][y]], [[z][w]])
    [[x][y][z][w]]

\left(\operatorname{augment} \left(\begin{bmatrix}x \\ y\end{bmatrix}^\mathrm T, \begin{bmatrix}z \\ w\end{bmatrix}^\mathrm T\right)\right)^\mathrm T

\begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \\ w\end{bmatrix}

[edit] UNIX Shell

Using proper built-in Bash arrays:

Works with: bash

array1=( 1 2 3 4 5 )
array2=( 6 7 8 9 10 )
botharrays=( ${array1[@]} ${array2[@]} )

Whitespace-delimited strings work in much the same way:

Works with: bash

array1='1 2 3 4 5'
array2='6 7 8 9 10'
 
# Concatenated to a Bash array ...
botharrays_a=( $array1 $array2 )
 
# Concatenated to a string ...
botharrays_s="$array1 $array2"

[edit] VBScript

Function ArrayConcat(arr1, arr2)
ReDim ret(UBound(arr1) + UBound(arr2) + 1)
For i = 0 To UBound(arr1)
ret(i) = arr1(i)
Next
offset = Ubound(arr1) + 1
For i = 0 To UBound(arr2)
ret(i + offset) = arr2(i)
Next
ArrayConcat = ret
End Function
 
arr1 = array(10,20,30)
arr2 = array(40,50,60)
WScript.Echo "arr1 = array(" & Join(arr1,", ") & ")"
WScript.Echo "arr2 = array(" & Join(arr2,", ") & ")"
arr3 = ArrayConcat(arr1, arr2)
WScript.Echo "arr1 + arr2 = array(" & Join(arr3,", ") & ")"

Output:

arr1 = array(10, 20, 30)
arr2 = array(40, 50, 60)
arr1 + arr2 = array(10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60)
