The $.merge() operation forms an array that contains all elements from the two arrays. The orders of items in the arrays are preserved, with items from the second array appended. The $.merge() function is destructive. It alters the length and numeric index properties of the first object to include items from the second.

If you need the original first array, make a copy of it before calling $.merge(). Fortunately, $.merge() itself can be used for this duplication:


 var newArray = $.merge([], oldArray);

    • This indicates that the method doesn't only expect an array as the argument, but also specifies the expected type. The notation is borrowed from Java 5's generics notation (or C++ templates).

    Array-Like Object

    Either a true JavaScript Array or a JavaScript Object that contains a nonnegative integer length property and index properties from 0 up to length - 1. This latter case includes array-like objects commonly encountered in web-based code such as the arguments object and the NodeList object returned by many DOM methods.

    When a jQuery API accepts either plain Objects or Array-Like objects, a plain Object with a numeric length property will trigger the Array-Like behavior.
