How to Join Two Arrays using Concat()


Using concat() method, you can join to arrays array1 and array2 as below.

array1[1]="Volvo"
array1[2]="BMW"

var array2=new Array(3);
array2[0]="Yamaha"
array2[1]="Honda"
array2[2]="Bajaj"

var array3=array1.concat(array2);

for(i=0; i<array3.length;i++)
{
document.write(array3[i]+"<br/>")
}
</script>
