Add an element to an array in Swift

Question

Suppose I have an array  for example   var myArray     Steve    Bill    Linus    Bret     And later I want to push append an element to the end of said array  to get     Steve    Bill    Linus    Bret    Tim    What method should I use   And what about the case where I want to add an element to the front of the array  Is there a constant time unshift

If the array is NSArray you can use the adding function to add any object at the end of the array, like this:

Swift 4.2

var myArray: NSArray = []
let firstElement: String = "First element"
let secondElement: String = "Second element"

// Process to add the elements to the array
myArray.adding(firstElement)
myArray.adding(secondElement)

Result:

print(myArray) 
// ["First element", "Second element"]

That is a very simple way, regards!

Swift 5 3  I believe  The normal array wasvar myArray     quot Steve quot    quot Bill quot    quot Linus quot    quot Bret quot   and you want to add  quot Tim quot  to the array  then you can use myArray insert  quot Tim quot   at  index  so if you want to add it at the back of the array  then you can use myArray append  quot Tim quot   at  3

You can also pass in a variable and or object if you wanted to   var str1 String    John  var str2 String    Bob   var myArray     Steve    Bill    Linus    Bret      add to the end of the array with append myArray append str1  myArray append str2    To add them to the front     use  insert  instead of append myArray insert str1  atIndex 0  myArray insert str2  atIndex 0     Swift 3 myArray insert str1  at  0  myArray insert str2  at  0    As others have already stated  you can no longer use      as of xCode 6 1

To add to the solutions suggesting append  it s useful to know that this is an amortised constant time operation in many cases      Complexity  Amortized O 1  unless self s storage is shared with another live array  O count  if self does not wrap a bridged NSArray  otherwise the efficiency is unspecified    I m looking for a cons like operator for Swift  It should return a new immutable array with the element tacked on the end  in constant time  without changing the original array  I ve not yet found a standard function that does this  I ll try to remember to report back if I find one

To add to the end  use the    operator   myArray      Craig   myArray      Jony    Eddy     That operator is generally equivalent to the append contentsOf   method   And in really old Swift versions  could append single elements  not just other collections of the same element type    There s also insert   at   for inserting at any index   If  say  you d like a convenience function for inserting at the beginning  you could add it to the Array class with an extension
