push
  • push ARRAY,LIST
  • Treats ARRAY as a stack, and pushes the values of LIST onto the end of ARRAY. The length of ARRAY increases by the length of LIST. Has the same effect as

        for $value (LIST) {
    	$ARRAY[++$#ARRAY] = $value;
        }

    but is more efficient. Returns the new number of elements in the array.
