Description

Description:
Add two numbers, concatenate two arrays or two strings, or duplicate an array. For arrays also see pushBack and append.
Array copy methods ARRAY + [] and +ARRAY have different behaviours:
  • ARRAY + [] creates copy of the 1st dimension, but preserves references in other dimensions (shallow copy).
  • +ARRAY clones every element, so if the array is multi-dimensional, the created copy contains no references (deep copy).
See Example 6.
Groups:
Math

Syntax 1

Syntax:
numberA + numberB
Parameters:
numberA: Number
numberB: Number
Return Value:
Number - the sum of numberA and numberB

Syntax 2

Syntax:
+ numberA
Parameters:
numberA: Number
Return Value:
Number - returns numberA

Syntax 3

Syntax:
arrayA + arrayB
Parameters:
arrayA: Array
arrayB: Array
Return Value:
Array - a new array filled with arrayA and arrayB elements, in that order.

Syntax 4

Syntax:
stringA + stringB
Parameters:
stringA: String
stringB: String
Return Value:
String - a string concatenating stringA and stringB

Syntax 5

Syntax:
+ arrayA
Parameters:
arrayA: Array
Return Value:
Array - a new instance of array filled with same items.

Examples

Example 1:
5 + 3; // returns 8 -5 + -3; // returns -8
Example 2:
+ 2; // returns 2 + -7; // returns -7
Example 3:
_arrayA = [1,2,3]; _arrayB = [3,4,5]; _arrayAB = _arrayA + _arrayB; // _arrayAB = [1,2,3,3,4,5] // _arrayA and _arrayB remain unchanged
Example 4:
_result = "Hello" + " " + "there"; // "Hello there"
Example 5:
_arrayA = [1,2,3]; _arrayB = +_arrayA; _arrayB set [0, 99]; // _arrayA = [1,2,3], _arrayB = [99,2,3]
Example 6:
Shallow copy with ARRAY + []: private _subArray = [1, 2, 3]; private _array1 = [_subArray, 1, 2, 3]; private _array2 = _array1 + []; _array2 select 0 set [0, "oops"]; hint str _subArray; // ["oops", 2, 3] Deep copy with +ARRAY: private _subArray = [1, 2, 3]; private _array1 = [_subArray, 1, 2, 3]; private _array2 = +_array1; _array2 select 0 set [0, "oops"]; hint str _subArray; // [1, 2, 3]
