699 PointsCan an array of items be added with the .append function?
I know that an array of new items can be appended using the +=
todo += ["Additional Stuff", "More Stuff"]
But can an array be added using .append? or can .append achieve just single elements?
Thanks in advance!

57,684 PointsI guess so, yes. Or you could use a for loop to iterate through the second array and append each element one by one, perhaps?

699 PointsOk, I see, so .append is only useful for adding single elements. I assume that to add multiple elements, the best bet is to use '+=' ?
