Swift – Append an Element to Array

To append an element to array in Swift, call append(_:) method on this array and pass the element as argument to the method.

append(_:) method appends the given element to the end of this array.

The syntax to append an element to the array is

</>
Copy
arrayName.append(element)

We can only append an element whose type is same as that of the elements in the array.

main.swift

</>
Copy
var fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
var anotherFruit = "mango"

fruits.append(anotherFruit)
