Array concatenation

Array concatenation
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Show how to concatenate two arrays in your language. If this is as simple as adding a list to a list, so be it.

Ada

In Ada arrays are concatenated using the operation &. It works with any one dimensioned array: <lang Ada>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)</lang>

C

A way to concatenate two C arrays when you know their size (and usually so it is) <lang c>#include <stdio.h>

1. include <stdlib.h>
2. include <string.h>

1. 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;

}</lang>

C++

<lang cpp>#include <vector>

1. 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.insert(a.end(), b.begin(), b.end());

 for (int i = 0; i < a.size(); ++i)
   std::cout << "a[" << i << "] = " << a[i] << "\n";

}</lang>

C#

<lang csharp>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());
           }
       }
   }

}</lang>

Alternatively, using LINQ extension methods:

Works with: C# version 3

<lang csharp>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();
   }

}</lang>

Clojure

<lang lisp>(concat [1 2 3] [4 5 6])</lang> The inputs can be any collection, including Java arrays, and returns a lazy sequence of the elements.

Common Lisp

<lang lisp>(append '(x y) '(x z))</lang>

D

<lang d>import std.stdio; // for writefln void main() {

   uint[] a = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4];
   uint[] b = [5, 6, 7, 8, 9];
   uint[] cat = a ~ b; // concat a and b into cat

   writefln(a, " ~ ", b, " = ", cat);

}</lang>

E

<lang e>? [1,2] + [3,4]

1. value: [1, 2, 3, 4]</lang>

F#

Array concatenation. <lang fsharp>let a = [|1; 2; 3|] let b = [|4; 5; 6;|] let c = Array.append a b</lang> List concatenation (@ and List.append are equivalent). <lang fsharp>let x = [1; 2; 3] let y = [4; 5; 6] let z1 = a @ b let z2 = List.append x y</lang>

Factor

<lang factor> append </lang>

Example: <lang factor> ( scratchpad ) USE: sequences ( scratchpad ) { 1 2 } { 3 4 } append . { 1 2 3 4 } </lang>

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 ++: <lang haskell>(++) :: [a] -> [a] -> [a]</lang>

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.

J

Solution: ,

Example: <lang j> array1 =: 1 2 3

  array2 =: 4 5 6
  array1 , array2

1 2 3 4 5 6</lang>

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

The verb , concatenates by treating the the left-argument array as a list. Other primary verbs concatenate along other axes.

<lang j> ]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</lang>

Java

From [1]: <lang java5>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;

}</lang>

Or with Collections simply call addAll: <lang java5>Collection list1, list2, list1And2; //...list1 and list2 are instantiated... list1And2 = new ArrayList(list1); //or any other Collection you want list1And2.addAll(list2);</lang>

JavaScript

The Array.concat() method returns a new array comprised of this array joined with other array(s) and/or value(s). <lang javascript>var a = [1,2,3]; var b = [4,5,6]; var c = a.concat(b); // [1,2,3,4,5,6]</lang>

Logo

COMBINE is used to combine lists or words. SENTENCE is used to combine lists and words into a single list. <lang logo> to combine-arrays :a1 :a2

 output listtoarray sentence arraytolist :a1 arraytolist :a2

end show combine-arrays {1 2 3} {4 5 6}  ; {1 2 3 4 5 6} </lang>

Lua

<lang lua>a = {1,2,3} b = {4,5,6} table.foreach(b,function(i,v)table.insert(a,i)end) for i,v in next,a do io.write (v..' ') end</lang>

Objective-C

with immutable arrays: <lang objc>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];</lang>

or adding onto a mutable array: <lang objc>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];</lang>

OCaml

It is more natural in OCaml to use lists instead of arrays: <lang ocaml># let list1 = [1; 2; 3];; val list1 : int list = [1; 2; 3]

1. let list2 = [4; 5; 6];;

val list2 : int list = [4; 5; 6]

1. let list1and2 = list1 @ list2;;

val list1and2 : int list = [1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6]</lang>

If you want to use arrays: <lang ocaml># let array1 = [|1; 2; 3|];; val array1 : int array = [|1; 2; 3|]

1. let array2 = [|4; 5; 6|];;

val array2 : int array = [|4; 5; 6|]

1. let array1and2 = Array.append array1 array2;;

val array1and2 : int array = [|1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6|]</lang>

Perl

In Perl, arrays placed into list context are flattened: <lang perl>my @arr1 = (1, 2, 3); my @arr2 = (4, 5, 6); my @arr3 = (@arr1, @arr2);</lang>

The push function appends elements onto an existing array: <lang perl>my @arr1 = (1, 2, 3); my @arr2 = (4, 5, 6); push @arr1, @arr2; print "@arr1\n"; # prints "1 2 3 4 5 6"</lang>

PHP

<lang php>$arr1 = array(1, 2, 3); $arr2 = array(4, 5, 6); $arr3 = array_merge($arr1, $arr2);</lang>

PowerShell

<lang powershell>$a = 1,2,3 $b = 4,5,6

$c = $a + $b Write-Host $c</lang>

Python

The + operator concatenates two lists and returns a new list. The list.extend method appends elements of another list to the receiver. <lang python>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]</lang>

REBOL

<lang REBOL> a1: [1 2 3] a2: [4 5 6] a3: [7 8 9]

append a1 a2 ; -> [1 2 3 4 5 6]

append/only a1 a3 ; -> [1 2 3 4 5 6 [7 8 9]] </lang>

Ruby

The Array#+ method concatenates two arrays and returns a new array. The Array#concat method appends elements of another array to the receiver. <lang ruby>arr1 = [1, 2, 3] arr2 = [4, 5, 6] arr3 = [7, 8, 9] arr4 = arr1 + arr2 # => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] arr4.concat(arr3) # => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]</lang>

Scala

<lang Scala>val arr1 = Array( 1, 2, 3 ) val arr2 = Array( 4, 5, 6 ) val arr3 = Array( 7, 8, 9 )

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

Scheme

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

Example: <lang scheme>(append '(x) '(y)) (append '(a) '(b c d)) (append '(a (b)) '((c)))</lang> Output:

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

Smalltalk

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

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

Tcl

<lang tcl>set a {1 2 3} set b {4 5 6} set ab [concat $a $b]; # 1 2 3 4 5 6</lang> 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.
