Append vs Concatenation

Right now I am learning about adding items to an array in swift. I have learned that one can add elements to the end of an array using the append method and also by concatenating 2 arrays together. Why does the append method exist if I can just concatenate? I am trying to figure out which method of adding elements to an array I should use more often moving forward, but they both seem like they do the same exact thing.

Hi Bryan,

Yup: both those methods do exactly the same thing. So, it doesn't matter which one you use. Just pick one ;)
