In Ruby, to add a value to the end and return a new array (as opposed to modifying it in-place), you can do the following:
existing_arr = ["foo", "bar"] new_arr = [*existing_arr, "baz"] print new_arr # ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
In the example above, the existing array is unpacked first (using *
), and the value you wish to add to the end is added right after. This does not mutate/modify the original array. Another way to achieve the same is by using the +
operator, for example, like so:
existing_arr = ["foo", "bar"] new_arr = existing_arr + ["baz"] print new_arr # ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
This would return a new array with all elements of "existing_arr
" added first, followed by the value 'foo'
at the end.
