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.

ACL2

This is for lists, not arrays; ACL2's array support is limited. <lang Lisp>(append xs ys)</lang>

ActionScript

<lang 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]</lang>

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>

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: <lang Algol68>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

);

  1. Append #

OP +:= = (REF ARGLIST lhs, ARGLIST rhs)ARGLIST: lhs := lhs + rhs; OP PLUSAB = (REF ARGLIST lhs, ARGLIST rhs)ARGLIST: lhs := lhs + rhs;

  1. 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))</lang>

a + b         +1         +2         +3         +4         +5
a +:= b         +1         +2         +3         +4         +5
a +=: b         +1         +2         +3         +4         +5         +3         +4         +5

AntLang

<lang AntLang>a: seq[1; seq[2; 3]] b: seq["Hello"; 42] c: a concat b</lang>

APL

<lang apl>

   1 2 3 , 4 5 6

1 2 3 4 5 6 </lang>

Apex

<lang apex>List<String> listA = new List<String> { 'apple' }; List<String> listB = new List<String> { 'banana' }; listA.addAll(listB); System.debug(listA); // Prints (apple, banana)</lang>

AppleScript

<lang AppleScript> set listA to {1, 2, 3} set listB to {4, 5, 6} return listA & listB </lang>

Output:
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}


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:

Translation of: JavaScript

<lang applescript>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

</lang>

Output:
{"alpha", "beta", "gamma", "delta", "epsilon", "zeta", "eta", "theta", "iota"}

AutoHotkey

True Arrays

Works with: AutoHotkey_L

<lang AHK>List1 := [1, 2, 3] List2 := [4, 5, 6] cList := Arr_concatenate(List1, List2) MsgBox % Arr_disp(cList) ; [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Arr_concatenate(p*) {

   res := Object()
   For each, obj in p
       For each, value in obj
           res.Insert(value)
   return res

}

Arr_disp(arr) {

   for each, value in arr
       res .= ", " value
   return "[" SubStr(res, 3) "]"

}</lang>

Legacy versions

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

}</lang> Message box shows:

1,2,3,4,5,6

AutoIt

_ArrayConcatenate is a standard function in Autoit, there´s no need to write it on your own


<lang AutoIt> _ArrayConcatenate($avArray, $avArray2) Func _ArrayConcatenate(ByRef $avArrayTarget, Const ByRef $avArraySource, $iStart = 0) If Not IsArray($avArrayTarget) Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0) If Not IsArray($avArraySource) Then Return SetError(2, 0, 0) If UBound($avArrayTarget, 0) <> 1 Then If UBound($avArraySource, 0) <> 1 Then Return SetError(5, 0, 0) Return SetError(3, 0, 0) EndIf If UBound($avArraySource, 0) <> 1 Then Return SetError(4, 0, 0)

BBC BASIC

<lang bbcbasic> DIM a(3), b(4)

     a() = 1, 2, 3, 4
     b() = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
     PROCconcat(a(), b(), c())

     SYS "RtlMoveMemory", ^c(na%), ^b(0), s%*nb%
     ENDPROC</lang>

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) <lang c>#include <stdlib.h>

  1. include <stdio.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(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;

}</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>

Works with: C++11

Similar to above but using initialization schematics.

<lang cpp>#include <vector>

  1. 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;

}</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>

Ceylon

<lang ceylon>shared void arrayConcatenation() { value a = Array {1, 2, 3}; value b = Array {4, 5, 6}; value c = concatenate(a, b); print(c); }</lang>

Clojure

<lang clojure>(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.

A vector is the closest Clojure thing to an array. If a vector is wanted, then use <lang clojure>(into [1 2 3] [4 5 6])</lang>

EchoLisp

The native operators are append for lists, and vector-append for vectors (1-dim arrays). <lang scheme>

VECTORS

(vector-append (make-vector 6 42) (make-vector 4 666))

   → #( 42 42 42 42 42 42 666 666 666 666)
LISTS

(append (iota 5) (iota 6))

  → (0 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 3 4 5)
NB - append may also be used with sequences (lazy lists)

(lib 'sequences)

  (take (append [1 .. 7] [7 6 .. 0]) #:all)
  → (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 6 5 4 3 2 1)

   // A word like "array" on RC often means "whatever array means in your

   // 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[:])
   fmt.Println(n)

Array concatenation needs can vary. Here is another set of examples that illustrate different techniques. <lang go>package main

import (

 "reflect"
 "fmt"

)

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

}</lang>

Output:

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.

HicEst

<lang HicEst>REAL :: a(7), b(3), c(10)

c = a DO i = 1, LEN(b)

  c(i + LEN(a)) = b(i)

ENDDO</lang>

Icon and Unicon

Both languages have list concatenation built in. Lists are fully dynamic arrays which can be truncated or extended at either end. <lang icon> procedure main()

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

end </lang>

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: <lang IDL>

> 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

</lang> Then they can be concatenated "at the ends": <lang IDL>

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

</lang> or "at the sides": <lang IDL>

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

</lang> Note that this requires that the arrays have the same size at the side at which they are concatenated: <lang IDL>

> 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: $MAIN$    

</lang> 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".

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 argument array with the largest number of dimensions 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],

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


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:

Translation of: Haskell

See, for a function with an analogous type signature, concat in the Haskell Prelude.

<lang javascript>(function () {

   'use strict';
   // concat :: a -> [a]
   function concat(xs) {
       return [].concat.apply([], xs);
   }


  return concat(
     [["alpha", "beta", "gamma"], 
     ["delta", "epsilon", "zeta"], 
     ["eta", "theta", "iota"]]
 );

})();</lang>

Output:
["alpha", "beta", "gamma", "delta", "epsilon", "zeta", "eta", "theta", "iota"]

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 flatten filter is available in recent versions of jq. If your jq does not have flatten, then the task can be accomplished by:

   reduce A[] as $a ([]; . + $a)

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 "+". <lang jq>[1,2] + [3] + [null] # => [1,2,3,null]

[range(1;3), 3, null] # => [1,2,3,null] </lang>

Julia

<lang julia>a = [1,2,3] b = [4,5,6] ab = [a,b]

  1. the above bracket notation simply generates a call to vcat

ab = vcat(a,b)

  1. hcat is short for `horizontal concatenation`

ab = hcat(a,b) #ab -> 3x2 matrix

  1. the append!(a,b) method is mutating, appending `b` to `a`

append!(a,b) # a now equals [1,2,3,4,5,6]</lang>

K

<lang K>

   a: 1 2 3
   b: 4 5 6
   a,b

1 2 3 4 5 6</lang>

Concatenations on larger dimensions also use ",", often combined with other operations.

<lang K>

  ab:3 3#"abcdefghi"

("abc"

"def"
"ghi")
  dd:3 3#"012345678"

("012"

"345"
"678")
  ab,dd   

("abc"

"def"
"ghi"
"012"
"345"
"678")
  +ab,dd   / flip (transpose) join

("adg036"

"beh147"
"cfi258")
  ab,'dd   / eachpair join

("abc012"

"def345"
"ghi678")
  +(+ab),dd

("abc036"

"def147"
"ghi258")</lang>

Kotlin

There is no operator or standard library function for concatenating Array types. One option is to convert to Collections, concatenate, and convert back: <lang kotlin>val a : Array<T> = // initialise a val b : Array<T> = // initialise b val c = (a.toList() + b.toList()).copyToArray()</lang>

Alternatively, we can write our own concatenation function: <lang kotlin>fun arrayConcat(a : Array<Any>, b : Array<Any>)

       = Array<Any>(a.size + b.size, {if (it in a.indices) a[it] else b[it - a.size]})</lang>

When working directly with Collections, we can simply use the + operator: <lang kotlin>val a : Collection<T> // initialise a val b : Collection<T> = // initialise b val c : Collection = a + b</lang>

Result:

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

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. <lang Maple> > 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]

</lang> Of course, the order of the arguments is important. <lang Maple> > ArrayTools:-Concatenate( 1, A, M );

                            [1    2    3]
                            [           ]
                            [a    b    c]
                            [           ]
                            [d    e    f]

</lang> 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. <lang Maple> > 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

Mercury

<lang Mercury>A `append` B = C</lang>

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?

NetRexx

NetRexx arrays are identical to Java's so all the techniques described in the Java section apply to NetRexx too. This example uses the Collection classes to merge two arrays. <lang netrexx>/* NetRexx */ options replace format comments java crossref nobinary

cymru = [ 'Ogof Ffynnon Ddu', 'Ogof Draenen' ]

dlm = '-'.copies(40)

say dlm loop c_ = 0 to cymru.length - 1

 say c_ cymru[c_]
 end c_

yorks = [ 'Malham Tarn Pot', 'Greygill Hole' ]

say dlm loop y_ = 0 to yorks.length - 1

 say y_ yorks[y_]
 end y_

merge = ArrayList() merge.addAll(Arrays.asList(cymru)) merge.addAll(Arrays.asList(yorks))

say dlm merged = merge.toArray() loop m_ = 0 to merged.length - 1

 say m_ merged[m_]
 end m_</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>

Onyx

<lang onyx># With two arrays on the stack, cat pops

  1. them, concatenates them, and pushes the result back
  2. on the stack. This works with arrays of integers,
  3. strings, or whatever. For example,

[1 2 3] [4 5 6] cat # result: [1 2 3 4 5 6] [`abc' `def'] [`ghi' `jkl'] cat # result: [`abc' `def' `ghi' `jkl']

  1. To concatenate more than two arrays, push the number of arrays
  2. to concatenate onto the stack and use ncat. For example,

[1 true `a'] [2 false `b'] [`3rd array'] 3 ncat

  1. leaves [1 true `a' 2 false `b' `3rd array'] on the stack</lang>

Order

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. <lang c>#include <order/interpreter.h>

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>

PicoLisp

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

There are destructive concatenations: <lang PicoLisp>: (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!</lang> and non-destructive concatenations: <lang PicoLisp>: (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</lang>

PL/I

Trivial example requires no computational statement. Note that the arrays are not in static storage: <lang PL/I>

  declare x(12) fixed;
  declare b(5) fixed defined x;
  declare c(7) fixed defined x(1sub+5);

</lang> A more general example using dynamic bounds. Again, no computation statement is required. <lang>

  declare x(m+n) fixed;
  declare b(m) fixed defined x;
  declare c(n) fixed defined x(1sub+hbound(b,1));

</lang>

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: <lang>

  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) );

</lang>

Output:

<lang> 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

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>

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

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: <lang rexx>a.1 = 10 a.2 = 22.7 a.7 = -12</lang> 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: <lang rexx>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</lang> 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. <lang rexx>/*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.*/

                                      /*stick a fork in it, we're done.*/</lang>

RLaB

In RLaB the matrices can be appended (column-wise) or stacked (row-wise). Consider few examples: <lang RLaB> >> 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

>> </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>

Or use flatten(1): <lang ruby>

  1. concat multiple arrays:

[arr1,arr2,arr3].flatten(1)

  1. ignore nil:

[arr1,arr2,arr3].compact.flatten(1) </lang>

S-lang

<lang S-lang>variable a = [1, 2, 3]; variable b = [4, 5, 6];</lang> a+b is perfectly valid in S-Lang, but instead of the problem's desired effect, it gives you a new array with each cooresponding element from a and b added. Instead: <lang S-lang>variable la = length(a), c = _typeof(a)[la+length(b)]; c[ [:la-1] ] = a; c[ [la:] ] = b;</lang>

If you can make do with using lists not arrays for a and b, it's trivial: <lang S-lang>a = {1, 2, 3}; b = {4, 5, 6};

variable c = list_concat(a, b);</lang>

behaves as in the array concatination above. Then, if you need an array: <lang S-lang>c = list_to_array(c);</lang>

As an alternative: <lang S-lang>list_join(a, b);</lang> adds the elements of b onto a.

Scala

<lang 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)</lang>

Scheme

<lang 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)</lang>

Note : vector-append is also defined in SRFI-43.

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.

<lang slate> {1. 2. 3. 4. 5} ; {6. 7. 8. 9. 10} </lang>

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.

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]]

UNIX Shell

Using proper built-in Bash arrays:

Works with: bash

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

Whitespace-delimited strings work in much the same way:

Works with: bash

<lang bash>array1='1 2 3 4 5' array2='6 7 8 9 10'

  1. Concatenated to a Bash array ...

botharrays_a=( $array1 $array2 )

  1. Concatenated to a string ...

botharrays_s="$array1 $array2"</lang>

Ursa

<lang ursa># create two streams (the ursa equivalent of arrays)

  1. a contains the numbers 1-10, b contains 11-20

       append i a

end for for (set i 11) (< i 21) (inc i)

       append i b

end for

  1. append the values in b to a

append b a

  1. output a to the console

out a endl console</lang>
