Array concatenation
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
Show how to concatenate two arrays in your language.
If this is as simple as array1 + array2
, so be it.
11l
V arr1 = [1, 2, 3]
V arr2 = [4, 5, 6]
print(arr1 [+] arr2)
- Output:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
68000 Assembly
In order for this to work, you'll either need to use malloc()
or know a memory location of "free space" at compile time. This example shall use the latter.
ArrayRam equ $00FF2000 ;this label points to 4k of free space.
;concatenate Array1 + Array2
LEA ArrayRam,A0
LEA Array1,A1
MOVE.W #5-1,D1 ;LEN(Array1), measured in words.
JSR memcpy_w
;after this, A0 will point to the destination of the second array.
LEA Array2,A1 ;even though the source arrays are stored back-to-back in memory, we'll assume they're not just for demonstration purposes.
MOVE.W #5-1,D1 ;LEN(Array2), measured in words
JSR memcpy_w
JMP * ;halt the CPU
memcpy_w:
MOVE.W (A1)+,(A0)+

The concept of arrays does not exist in ABAP, instead internal tables are used. This works in ABAP version 7.40 and above.
report z_array_concatenation.
data(itab1) = value int4_table( ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ).
data(itab2) = value int4_table( ( 4 ) ( 5 ) ( 6 ) ).
append lines of itab2 to itab1.
loop at itab1 assigning field-symbol(<line>).

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)

ALGOL W
Algol W does not allow procedures to return arrays and has no mechanism for procedures to find the bounds of their parameters, so the caller must supply an array to concatenate into and the bounds of the arrays.
begin
integer array a ( 1 :: 5 );
integer array b ( 2 :: 4 );
integer array c ( 1 :: 8 );
% concatenates the arrays a and b into c %
% the lower and upper bounds of each array must be specified in %
% the corresponding *Lb and *Ub parameters %
procedure arrayConcatenate ( integer array a ( * )
; integer value aLb, aUb
; integer array b ( * )
; integer value bLb, bUb
; integer array c ( * )
; integer value cLb, cUb
) ;
begin
integer cPos;
assert( ( cUb - cLb ) + 1 >= ( ( aUb + bUb ) - ( aLb + bLb ) ) - 2 );
cPos := cLb;
for aPos := aLb until aUb do begin
c( cPos ) := a( aPos );
cPos := cPos + 1
end for_aPos ;
for bPos := bLb until bUb do begin
c( cPos ) := b( bPos );
cPos := cPos + 1
end for_bPos
end arrayConcatenate ;

Or, if we treat the concatenation of two lists as a special case of the more general problem of concatenating N lists, we can write:
on run
concat([["alpha", "beta", "gamma"], ¬
["delta", "epsilon", "zeta"], ¬
["eta", "theta", "iota"]])
end run
-- concat :: [[a]] -> [a]
on concat(xxs)
set lst to {}
repeat with xs in xxs
set lst to lst & xs
end repeat
return lst
end concat
- Output:
{"alpha", "beta", "gamma", "delta", "epsilon", "zeta", "eta", "theta", "iota"}

ATS
The following may seem frightening. However, it probably compiles down to two calls to __builtin_memcpy. All the complexity is to make sure those calls are done correctly.
(* The Rosetta Code array concatenation task, in ATS2. *)
(* In a way, the task is misleading: in a language such as ATS, one
can always devise a very-easy-to-use array type, put the code for
that in a library, and overload operators. Thus we can have
"array1 + array2" as array concatenation in ATS, complete with
garbage collection when the result no longer is needed.
It depends on what libraries are in one's repertoire.
Nevertheless, it seems fair to demonstrate how to concatenate two
barebones arrays at the nitpicking lowest level, without anything
but the barest contents of the ATS2 prelude. It will make ATS
programming look difficult; but ATS programming *is* difficult,
when you are using it to overcome the programming safety
deficiencies of a language such as C, without losing the runtime
efficiency of C code.
What we want is the kind of routine that would be used *in the
implementation* of "array1 + array2". So let us begin ... *)
#include "share/atspre_staload.hats" (* Loads some needed template
code. *)
fn {t : t@ype}
(* The demonstration will be for arrays of a non-linear type t. Were
the arrays to contain a *linear* type (vt@ype), then either the old
arrays would have to be destroyed or a copy procedure would be
needed for the elements. *)
arrayconcat1 {m, n : nat}
{pa, pb, pc : addr}
(pfa : !(@[t][m]) @ pa,
pfb : !(@[t][n]) @ pb,
pfc : !(@[t?][m + n]) @ pc >> @[t][m + n] @ pc |
pa : ptr pa,
pb : ptr pb,
pc : ptr pc,
m : size_t m,
n : size_t n) : void =
(* The routine takes as arguments three low-level arrays, passed by
value, as pointers with associated views. The first array is of
length m, with elements of type t, and the array must have been
initialized; the second is a similar array of length n. The third
array is uninitialized (thus the "?" character) and must have
length m+n; its type will change to "initialized". *)
{
prval (pfleft, pfright) = array_v_split {t?} {pc} {m + n} {m} pfc
(* We have had to split the view of array c into a left part pfleft,
of length m, and a right part pfright of length n. Arrays a and b
will be copied into the respective parts of c. *)
val _ = array_copy<t> (!pc, !pa, m)
val _ = array_copy<t> (!(ptr_add<t> (pc, m)), !pb, n)
(* Copying an array *safely* is more complex than what we are doing
here, but above the task has been given to the "array_copy"
template in the prelude. The "!" signs appear because array_copy is
call-by-reference but we are passing it pointers. *)
(* pfleft and pfright now refer to *initialized* arrays: one of length
m, starting at address pc; the other of length n, starting at
address pc+(m*sizeof<t>). *)
prval _ = pfc := array_v_unsplit {t} {pc} {m, n} (pfleft, pfright)
(* Before we can exit, the view of array c has to be replaced. It is
replaced by "unsplitting" the (now initialized) left and right
parts of the array. *)
(* We are done. Everything should now work, and the result will be
safe from buffer overruns or underruns, and against accidental
misuse of uninitialized data. *)
}
(* arrayconcat2 is a pass-by-reference interface to arrayconcat1. *)
fn {t : t@ype}
arrayconcat2 {m, n : nat}
(a : &(@[t][m]),
b : &(@[t][n]),
c : &(@[t?][m + n]) >> @[t][m + n],
m : size_t m,
n : size_t n) : void =
arrayconcat1 (view@ a, view@ b, view@ c |
addr@ a, addr@ b, addr@ c, m, n)
(* Overloads to let you say "arrayconcat" for either routine above. *)
overload arrayconcat with arrayconcat1
overload arrayconcat with arrayconcat2
implement
main0 () =
(* A demonstration program. *)
let
(* Some arrays on the stack. Because they are on the stack, they
will not need explicit freeing. *)
var a = @[int][3] (1, 2, 3)
var b = @[int][4] (5, 6, 7, 8)
var c : @[int?][7]
in
(* Compute c as the concatenation of a and b. *)
arrayconcat<int> (a, b, c, i2sz 3, i2sz 4);
(* The following simply prints the result. *)
let
(* Copy c to a linear linked list, because the prelude provides
means to easily print such a list. *)
val lst = array2list (c, i2sz 7)
in
println! (lst); (* Print the list. *)
free lst (* The list is linear and must be freed. *)
end
end
- Output:
$ patscc -O2 -DATS_MEMALLOC_LIBC arrayconcat.dats && ./a.out 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8
Footnotes:
- The ATS prelude does in fact translate calls to array_copy into C calls to memcpy. On a GNU system, the memcpy calls will likely become calls to __builtin_memcpy. The prelude's implementation is a practical one, rather than a strict demonstration of ATS methods.
- The "-DATS_MEMALLOC_LIBC" is needed due to the copying of an array to a linear linked list, which has to be both malloc'd and free'd. The arrays themselves are allocated on the stack, in this example.

Bracmat
Bracmat concatenates lists composed with the comma, space, addition and multiplication operators. Furthermore, lists composed with the addition and multiplication operators are canonically sorted and like terms or factors are combined algebraically. Lists composed with the space operator automatically delete any elements with zero-length atoms and no prefixes. All these lists except the comma-separated list support a notion of 'array index', but as the underlying datastructure is a linked list and not an array, accessing, say, the millionth element can be slow. Examples of concatenation (entered on the Bracmat command line):
{?} (a,b,c,d,e),(n,m) {!} a,b,c,d,e,n,m {?} (a,m,y),(b,n,y,z) {!} a,m,y,b,n,y,z {?} (a m y) (b n y z) {!} a m y b n y z {?} (a+m+y)+(b+n+y+z) {!} a+b+m+n+2*y+z {?} (a*m*y)*(b*n*y*z) {!} a*b*m*n*y^2*z
Concatenate three lists and split the concatenated list using a position operator:
{?} (a b c d) (e f g h) (i j k):?A [7 ?Z {!} a b c d e f g h i j k {?} !A {!} a b c d e f g {?} !Z {!} h i j k

C
A way to concatenate two C arrays when you know their size (and usually so it is)
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.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(void)
{
unsigned int i;
int *c = ARRAY_CONCAT(int, a, 5, b, 5);
for(i = 0; i < 10; i++)
printf("%d\n", c[i]);
free(c);
return EXIT_SUCCCESS;
}
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:
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();
}
}
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.insert(a.end(), b.begin(), b.end());
for (int i = 0; i < a.size(); ++i)
std::cout << "a[" << i << "] = " << a[i] << "\n";
}
Similar to above but using initialization schematics.
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::vector<int> a {1, 2, 3, 4};
std::vector<int> b {5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
a.insert(a.end(), b.begin(), b.end());
for(int& i: a) std::cout << i << " ";
std::cout << std::endl;
return 0;
}
This is another solution with function level templates and pointers.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

if (newArraySize % 2 == 1)

// This example works on stuff as old as Delphi 5 (maybe older)
// Modern Delphi / Object Pascal has both
// • generic types

// So I could just say:
// myarray := [1] + [2, 3];
// But if you do not have access to the latest/greatest, then:
{$apptype console}
type
// Array types must be declared in order to return them from functions
// They can also be used with open array parameters.
TArrayOfString = array of string;
function Concat( a, b : array of string ): TArrayOfString; overload;
{
Every array type needs its own 'Concat' function:
function Concat( a, b : array of integer ): TArrayOfInteger; overload;
function Concat( a, b : array of double ): TArrayOfDouble; overload;
etc
Also, dynamic and open array types ALWAYS start at 0. No need to complicate indexing here.

DuckDB
As discussed in the overview at Arrays#DuckDB, DuckDB supports arrays in a variety of ways. Each is covered in one of the following subsections.
DuckDB lists
`||` is the infix concatenation operator for lists:
D select [1,2] || [2,1] as concatenated; ┌──────────────┐ │ concatenated │ │ int32[] │ ├──────────────┤ │ [1, 2, 2, 1] │ └──────────────┘
JSON arrays
Concatenation of two JSON arrays can be accomplished using the following function for converting a JSON array to a DuckDB list of JSON entities.
# Concatenate two JSON arrays to produce an instance of JSON[]
create or replace function jsonarray2list(j) as (
select list_transform(range(0, json_array_length(j)::BIGINT), i -> (j -> i))
);
Example:
D select '[1,"a"]'::JSON as a, '[2,"b"]'::JSON as b, (jsonarray2list(a) || jsonarray2list(b))::JSON as "a||b"; ┌─────────┬─────────┬───────────────┐ │ a │ b │ a||b │ │ json │ json │ json │ ├─────────┼─────────┼───────────────┤ │ [1,"a"] │ [2,"b"] │ [1,"a",2,"b"] │ └─────────┴─────────┴───────────────┘
Column in a table
By default, 'union all' will preserve the order of rows in tables, as illustrated here:
D create or replace table t(i integer); D insert into t values (10), (20); D create or replace table u(i integer); D insert into t values (1), (10), (20), (2); D from t union all u; ┌───────┐ │ i │ │ int32 │ ├───────┤ │ 10 │ │ 20 │ │ 1 │ │ 10 │ │ 20 │ │ 2 │ └───────┘
DuckDB arrays
Since DuckDB's list functions also work with arrays, concatenating two type-compatible DuckDB arrays to produce a list can be accomplished using the `||` operator as above, e.g.:
D select ([1,2]::INTEGER[2] || [2,1,1]::INTEGER[3]) as "list"; ┌─────────────────┐ │ list │ │ int32[] │ ├─────────────────┤ │ [1, 2, 2, 1, 1] │ └─────────────────┘
However, concatenating two DuckDB arrays to produce a DuckDB **array** programmatically currently cannot be done efficiently within DuckDB itself, so we'll just illustrate a manual approach:
D select [1,2]::INTEGER[2] as a1, [2,1]::INTEGER[2] as a2, (a1::INTEGER[] || a2::INTEGER[])::INTEGER[4] as concat; ┌────────────┬────────────┬──────────────┐ │ a1 │ a2 │ concat │ │ integer[2] │ integer[2] │ integer[4] │ ├────────────┼────────────┼──────────────┤ │ [1, 2] │ [2, 1] │ [1, 2, 2, 1] │ └────────────┴────────────┴──────────────┘

Free Pascal
Since FPC (Free Pascal compiler) version 3.2.0., the dynamic array concatenation operator +
is available, provided {$modeSwitch arrayOperators+}
(which is enabled by default in {$mode Delphi}
).
array2 := array0 + array1
Alternatively, one could use concat()
which is independent of above modeswitch and mode. Neither option requires the use of any libraries.:
array2 := concat(array0, array1);
A more complete example:
Program arrayConcat;

GLSL
This macro concatenates two arrays to form a new array. The first parameter is the type of the array:
#define array_concat(T,a1,a2,returned) \
T[a1.length()+a2.length()] returned; \
{ \
for(int i = 0; i < a1.length(); i++){ \
returned[i] = a1[i]; \
} \
for(int i = 0; i < a2.length(); i++){ \
returned[i+a1.length()] = a2[i]; \
} \
}
The macro can be used like this:
array_concat(float,float[](1.,2.,3.),float[](4.,5.,6.),returned);
int i = returned.length();
Go
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
// Example 1: Idiomatic in Go is use of the append function.
// Elements must be of identical type.
a := []int{1, 2, 3}
b := []int{7, 12, 60} // these are technically slices, not arrays
c := append(a, b...)
fmt.Println(c)
// Example 2: Polymorphism.
// interface{} is a type too, one that can reference values of any type.
// This allows a sort of polymorphic list.
i := []interface{}{1, 2, 3}
j := []interface{}{"Crosby", "Stills", "Nash", "Young"}
k := append(i, j...) // append will allocate as needed
fmt.Println(k)
// Example 3: Arrays, not slices.
// A word like "array" on RC often means "whatever array means in your
// language." In Go, the common role of "array" is usually filled by
// Go slices, as in examples 1 and 2. If by "array" you really mean
// "Go array," then you have to do a little extra work. The best
// technique is almost always to create slices on the arrays and then
// use the copy function.
l := [...]int{1, 2, 3}
m := [...]int{7, 12, 60} // arrays have constant size set at compile time
var n [len(l) + len(m)]int
copy(n[:], l[:]) // [:] creates a slice that references the entire array
copy(n[len(l):], m[:])

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.
This operator could be defined from the scratch using explicit recursion:
[] ++ x = x
(h:t) ++ y = h : (t ++ y)
or folding
x ++ y = foldr (:) y x

Icon and Unicon
Both languages have list concatenation built in. Lists are fully dynamic arrays which can be truncated or extended at either end.
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".
Idris
Idris will disambiguate functions based on type, so both List
(arbitrary length) and Vect
(fixed length) can be concatenated in the same way:
Idris> [1, 2] ++ [4, 5, 6] [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] : List Integer Idris> :module Data.Vect *Data/Vect> (the (Vect 2 Nat) [1, 2]) ++ (the (Vect 3 Nat) [3, 4, 5]) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] : Vect 5 Nat

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.

Java
In Java, arrays are immutable, so you'll have to create a new array, and copy the contents of the two arrays into it.
Luckily, Java offers the System.arraycopy method, which will save you the effort of creating the for-loops.
int[] concat(int[] arrayA, int[] arrayB) {
int[] array = new int[arrayA.length + arrayB.length];
System.arraycopy(arrayA, 0, array, 0, arrayA.length);
System.arraycopy(arrayB, 0, array, arrayA.length, arrayB.length);
return array;
}
If you wanted to use for-loops, possibly to mutate the data as it's concatenated, you can use the following.
int[] concat(int[] arrayA, int[] arrayB) {
int[] array = new int[arrayA.length + arrayB.length];
for (int index = 0; index < arrayA.length; index++)
array[index] = arrayA[index];
for (int index = 0; index < arrayB.length; index++)
array[index + arrayA.length] = arrayB[index];
return array;
}
A less idiomatic approach would be to use a List, which is a mutable array, similar to a "vector" in other languages.
I have used both arrays and Lists extensively and have not noticed any sort of performance degradation, they appear to work equally as fast.
It's worth noting that the Java Collections Framework, which contains the List class, is built specifically for Objects and not necessarily primitive data-types. Despite this, it's still worth using for primitives, although the conversion to and from arrays is somewhat abstruse.
int[] concat(int[] arrayA, int[] arrayB) {
List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>();
for (int value : arrayA) list.add(value);
for (int value : arrayB) list.add(value);
int[] array = new int[list.size()];
for (int index = 0; index < list.size(); index++)
array[index] = list.get(index);
return array;
}
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],
b = [4,5,6],
c = a.concat(b); //=> [1,2,3,4,5,6]
Or, if we consider the concatenation of two arrays as a particular instance of the more general problem of concatenating 2 or more arrays, we can write a generic function:
See, for a function with an analogous type signature, concat in the Haskell Prelude.
(function () {
'use strict';
// concat :: [[a]] -> [a]
function concat(xs) {
return [].concat.apply([], xs);
}
return concat(
[["alpha", "beta", "gamma"],
["delta", "epsilon", "zeta"],
["eta", "theta", "iota"]]
);
})();
- Output:
["alpha", "beta", "gamma", "delta", "epsilon", "zeta", "eta", "theta", "iota"]
Joy
[1 2 3] [4 5 6] concat.
jq
If a and b are two arrays, then a+b is their concatenation. Similarly for a+b+c.
To concatenate the component arrays of an array, A, the add filter can be used: A|add
jq also supports streams, which are somewhat array-like, so it may be worth mentioning that the concatenation of two or more streams can be accomplished using "," instead of "+".
[1,2] + [3] + [null] # => [1,2,3,null]
[range(1;3), 3, null] # => [1,2,3,null]
Julia
a = [1,2,3]
b = [4,5,6]
ab = [a;b]
# the above bracket notation simply generates a call to vcat
ab = vcat(a,b)
# hcat is short for `horizontal concatenation`
ab = hcat(a,b) #ab -> 3x2 matrix
# the append!(a,b) method is mutating, appending `b` to `a`
append!(a,b) # a now equals [1,2,3,4,5,6]

a: 1 2 3
b: 4 5 6

Maple
There is a built-in procedure for concatenating arrays (and similar objects such as matrices or vectors). Arrays can be concatenated along any given dimension, which is specified as the first argument.
> A := Array( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );
A := [1, 2, 3]
> B := Vector['row']( [ sin( x ), cos( x ), tan( x ) ] );
B := [sin(x), cos(x), tan(x)]
> ArrayTools:-Concatenate( 1, A, B ); # stack vertically
[ 1 2 3 ]
[ ]
[sin(x) cos(x) tan(x)]
> ArrayTools:-Concatenate( 2, A, B ); # stack horizontally
[1, 2, 3, sin(x), cos(x), tan(x)]
> M := << a, b, c ; d, e, f >>; # a matrix
[a b c]
M := [ ]
[d e f]
> ArrayTools:-Concatenate( 1, M, A );
[a b c]
[ ]
[d e f]
[ ]
[1 2 3]
Of course, the order of the arguments is important.
> ArrayTools:-Concatenate( 1, A, M );
[1 2 3]
[ ]
[a b c]
[ ]
[d e f]
Lists, in Maple, might be considered to be a kind of "array" (in the sense that they look like arrays in memory), though they are actually immutable objects. However, they can be concatenated as follows.
> L1 := [ 1, 2, 3 ];
L1 := [1, 2, 3]
> L2 := [ a, b, c ];
L2 := [a, b, c]
> [ op( L1 ), op( L2 ) ];
[1, 2, 3, a, b, c]
> [ L1[], L2[] ]; # equivalent, just different syntax
[1, 2, 3, a, b, c]
Mathcad
Ref: [1] Mathcad Community Topic
Mathcad has a built-in array type that includes a natural 2D matrix-style format.
Mathcad can concatenate arrays in several ways. The easiest way is to use the built-in stack and augment functions.
stack concatenates arrays row-wise. The two (or more) arrays must have the same number of columns, and the resulting array row count is equal to the total number of rows in the stacked arrays.
augment concatenates arrays column-wise. The two (or more) arrays must have the same number of rows, and the resulting array column count is equal to the total number of columns in the augmented arrays.
create a pair of arbitrary array:
a:=matrix(2,2,max) b:=a+3
a=|0 1| b=|3 4|
|1 1| |4 4|
concatentate them vertically:
|0 1|
stack(a,b) = |1 1|
|3 4|
|4 4|
augment(a,b) = |0 1 3 4|
|1 1 3 4|
Mathematica / Wolfram Language
Join[{1,2,3}, {4,5,6}]
-> {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
MATLAB / Octave
Two 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];
>> b = [4 5 6];
>> c = [a b]
c =
1 2 3 4 5 6
>> c = [a;b]
c =
1 2 3
4 5 6
For concatenation along higher dimensions, use cat():
>> a = randn([3 4 5]);
>> b = randn([3 4 7]);
>> c = cat(3,a,b);
>> size(c)

Mercury
A `append` B = C
It could be "as simple as array1 + array2", but the 'array' module names the operation 'append' rather than '+'. It's tempting to just say that Mercury supports ad-hoc polymorphism - it can infer that a bare '+' refers to 'float.+' or 'int.+' (or that the 'append' above is array.append, rather than list.append), by the types involved - but it also handles other ambiguities in the same way. For instance, Mercury (like Prolog and Erlang) treats the arity of a function as part of its name, where a(1, 2) and a(1) involve the distinct functions a/2 and a/1. But Mercury also (unlike Prolog and Erlang) supports currying, where a(1) is a function that accepts a/2's second argument. So, is [a(X), a(Y), a(Z)] a list of whatever type a/1 evaluates to, or is it a list of curried a/2?

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|]

Order supports two main aggregate types: tuples and sequences (similar to lists in other languages). Most "interesting" operations are limited to sequences, but both support an append operation, and each can be converted to the other.
#include <order/interpreter.h>
ORDER_PP( 8tuple_append(8tuple(1, 2, 3), 8tuple(4, 5, 6), 8pair(7, 8)) )
// -> (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
ORDER_PP( 8seq_append(8seq(1, 2, 3), 8seq(4, 5, 6), 8seq(7, 8)) )
// -> (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)

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)

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"
Phix
sequence s1 = {1,2,3}, s2 = {4,5,6} ? s1 & s2
- Output:

Picat
Picat has support for both lists and arrays and arrays can be much faster. Some list functions works with both lists and arrays, but some doesn't, e.g. append/3. In those cases one have to convert arrays to a list with to_list/1, and back again with to_array/1.
go =>
L1 = {1,2,3,4,5}, % define an array with {}
L2 = {6,7,8,9},
% The built-in array/list concatenation
println(L1 ++ L2),
% Using the built-in append/3 works only on lists
% so the arrays must be converted to lists.
append(L1.to_list,L2.to_list,L3),
println(L3.to_array),
nl.
- Output:
{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}
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
Pike
int main() {
array arr1 = ({1, 2, 3});
array arr2 = ({4, 5, 6});
array arr3 = arr1 + arr2;
}
PL/I
Trivial example requires no computational statement. Note that the arrays are not in static storage:
declare x(12) fixed;
declare b(5) fixed defined x;
declare c(7) fixed defined x(1sub+5);
A more general example using dynamic bounds. Again, no computation statement is required.
declare x(m+n) fixed;
declare b(m) fixed defined x;
declare c(n) fixed defined x(1sub+hbound(b,1));
An alternative, that can be used to advantage for matrices as well as vectors, follows. This example illustrates extending a matrix diagonally. Although fixed array bounds are used in the declarations, the bounds can be dynamic. Matrix B is extended by placing matrix C on its diagonal:
declare a(5,6) fixed;
declare b(3,4) fixed defined a(1sub, 2sub);
declare c(2,2) fixed defined a(1sub+hbound(b,1), 2sub+hbound(b,2));
declare (i, j, k) fixed;
a = 0;
put skip list ('Please type elements for a 3 x 4 matrix:');
get list (b);
put skip list ('Please type elements for a 2 x 2 matrix:');
get list (c);
put skip edit (c) ( skip, (hbound(c,2)) f(5,0) );
put skip list ('Composite matrix:');
put skip edit (a) ( skip, (hbound(a,2)) f(5,0) );
- Output:
Please type elements for a 3 x 4 matrix:
Please type elements for a 2 x 2 matrix:
13 14
15 16
Composite matrix:
1 2 3 4 0 0

Plain English
Plain English has these functions for concatenating two sets of things:
To append some things to some other things:
Put the things' first into a thing.
If the thing is nil, exit.
Remove the thing from the things.
Append the thing to the other things.
Repeat.
To prepend some things to some other things:
Get a thing from the things (backwards).
If the thing is nil, exit.
Remove the thing from the things.
Prepend the thing to the other things.

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]
Note: list.extend is normally accomplished using the += operator like this:
arr5 = [4, 5, 6]
arr6 = [7, 8, 9]
arr6 += arr5
assert arr6 == [7, 8, 9, 4, 5, 6]

REXX
REXX doesn't have arrays as such, but it has something that looks, feels, and tastes like arrays:
- stemmed variables
Simply, a stemmed array is a variable with an appended dot (.) followed by a symbol (it's normally an integer or an alphanumeric name).
There is no way to preallocate a stemmed variable, REXX just assigns them as they are created (assigned a value).
As such, there isn't an easy way to keep track of the number of "elements" in a REXX "array" (unless the programmer maintains a list).
Consider:
a.1 = 10
a.2 = 22.7
a.7 = -12
where now we have three "elements", and they are disjointed (another word for sparse).
There are ways to handle this in REXX however.
When assigning stemmed arrays, it is common to assign "element" zero to the number of values,
assuming that the stemmed variables are sequential.
example:
fact.0=8
fact.1= 1
fact.2= 2
fact.3= 6
fact.4= 24
fact.5= 120
fact.6= 720
fact.7= 5040
fact.8=40320
To concat two "arrays" in REXX, the following assumes that the stemmed variables are in order, with no gaps, and none have a "null" value.
/*REXX program to demonstrates how to perform array concatenation.*/
p.= /*(below) a short list of primes.*/
p.1=2; p.2=3; p.3=5; p.4=7; p.5=11; p.6=13
p.7=17; p.8=19; p.9=23; p.10=27; p.11=31; p.12=37
f.= /*(below) a list of Fibonacci #s.*/
f.0=0;f.1=1;f.2=1;f.3=2;f.4=3;f.5=5;f.6=8;f.7=13;f.8=21;f.9=34;f.10=55
do j=1 while p.j\==''
c.j=p.j /*assign C array with some primes*/
end /*j*/
n=j-1
do k=0 while f.k\==''; n=n+1
c.n=f.k /*assign C array with fib numbers*/
end /*k*/
say 'elements=' n
say
do m=1 for n
say 'c.'m"="c.m /*show a "merged" C array nums.*/
end /*m*/
/*stick a fork in it, we're done.*/
- Output:
elements= 23 c.1=2 c.2=3 c.3=5 c.4=7 c.5=11 c.6=13 c.7=17 c.8=19 c.9=23 c.10=27 c.11=31 c.12=37 c.13=0 c.14=1 c.15=1 c.16=2 c.17=3 c.18=5 c.19=8 c.20=13 c.21=21 c.22=34 c.23=55

RLaB
In RLaB the matrices can be appended (column-wise) or stacked (row-wise). Consider few examples:
>> x = [1, 2, 3]
>> y = [4, 5, 6]
// appending matrix 'y' on the right from matrix 'x' is possible if the two matrices have
// the same number of rows:
>> z1 = [x, y]
matrix columns 1 thru 6
1 2 3 4 5 6
// stacking matrix 'y' below the matrix 'x' is possible if the two matrices have
// the same number of columns:
>> z2 = [x; y]
1 2 3
4 5 6
>>
RPL
In RPL, what is called arrays are actually vectors. Sets of numbers can be stored either in such data structures or in lists, depending on the planned use. Vectors are great for arithmetics, but lists are more versatile.
Vector concatenation
≪ SWAP ARRY→ LIST→ DROP → n ≪ n 1 + ROLL ARRY→ LIST→ DROP n + 1 →LIST →ARRY ≫ ≫ 'CONCAT' STO
[1 2 3] [4 5] CONCAT
- Output:
1: [1 2 3 4 5]
A shorter version, without any local variable:
≪ SWAP ARRY→ 1 GET →LIST SWAP ARRY→ 1 GET →LIST + LIST→ { } + →ARRY ≫ 'CONCAT' STO
List concatenation
No need for a program to do that:
{1 2 3} {4 5} +
- Output:
1: {1 2 3 4 5}
Ruby
The Array#+
method concatenates two arrays and returns a new array. The Array#concat
method appends elements of another array to the receiver.
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]
Or use flatten(1):
# concat multiple arrays:
[arr1,arr2,arr3].flatten(1)
# ignore nil:
[arr1,arr2,arr3].compact.flatten(1)
Rust
fn main() {
let a_vec = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
let b_vec = vec![6; 5];
let c_vec = concatenate_arrays(&a_vec, &b_vec);
println!("{:?} ~ {:?} => {:?}", a_vec, b_vec, c_vec);
}
fn concatenate_arrays<T: Clone>(x: &[T], y: &[T]) -> Vec<T> {
let mut concat = x.to_vec();
concat.extend_from_slice(y);
concat
}
Or, with iterators:
fn concatenate_arrays<T: Clone>(x: &[T], y: &[T]) -> Vec<T> {
x.iter().chain(y).cloned().collect()
}
S-lang
variable a = [1, 2, 3];
variable b = [4, 5, 6], c;
a+b is perfectly valid in S-Lang, but instead of the problem's desired effect, it gives you a new array with each coorresponding element from a and b added. But because arrays automatically 'flatten' when defined, concatenation is as simple as:
c = [a, b];
Use of lists is more traditional; lists don't 'flatten', so we use either list_concat() to create a new concatenated array:
a = {1, 2, 3};
b = {4, 5, 6};
c = list_concat(a, b);
or list_join():
list_join(a, b);
which adds the elements of b onto a.
SASL
In SASL, the concat operator ++ is built-in
(1 2 3) ++ (4 5 6)
Scala
val arr1 = Array( 1, 2, 3 )
val arr2 = Array( 4, 5, 6 )
val arr3 = Array( 7, 8, 9 )
arr1 ++ arr2 ++ arr3
//or:
Array concat ( arr1, arr2, arr3 )
// res0: Array[Int] = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
Scheme
; in r5rs, there is append for lists, but we'll need to define vector-append
(define (vector-append . arg) (list->vector (apply append (map vector->list arg))))
(vector-append #(1 2 3 4) #(5 6 7) #(8 9 10))
; #(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10)

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.
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:
Concatenation in the other direction may of course be done by transposition:
■ augment([[x][y]], [[z][w]]) [[x][y][z][w]]
