array.push(value1, value2,...valuen)

Arguments

value1, ...valuen

A list of one or more values to be added to the end of array.

Returns

The new length of array.

Description

The push( ) method appends a list of values to the end of an array as new elements. Elements are added in the order provided. It differs from concat( ) in that push( ) modifies the original array, whereas concat( ) creates a new array. It differs from unshift( ) in that push( ) adds elements at the end of an array, not the beginning.

Example

myList = new Array (5, 6);
myList.push(7);             // myList is now [5, 6, 7]
myList.push(10, 8, 9);      // myList is now [5, 6, 7, 10, 8, 9]
