array.push Reference

Add one or more elements to the end of an array.

array.push

Description

The base array is sent to the right inlet, which clears any elements sent to the left inlet. Additional elements are sent to the left inlet, and can be repeatedly placed at the end of the output array, without the user needing to update the array in the right inlet. Unlike the JavaScript implementation, the input array is not changed in place.

Arguments
