Single Operation to Concatenate 2 %DynamicArrays?

Question

Question

Hello,

Is there a single ObjectScript operator or method to concatenate two %DynamicArrays?

I'm looking for something that will do the following:

set arr1 = [ 1, 2, 3 ]
set arr2 = [ 4, 5, 6 ]
set arrcombined = arr1.%Concatenate(arr2)

or

set arrcombined arr1_arr2

With end result:

zw arrcombined
arr1=[1,2,3,4,5,6]  ; <DYNAMIC ARRAY>

I can iterate and %Pop over the 2nd array and %Push each popped entry to the 1st array, but I was looking for something more succinct.

Thanks in advance.

I found an answer (thanks @Pravin Barton)

and, by the way, it's chainable

USER>zw [1,2,3].addAll([4,5,6]).addAll([7,8,9])
[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]  ; <DYNAMIC ARRAY>

Thank you Dmitry; I confirmed it works when the dynamic arrays are stored in variables:

%SYS>w $zv

%SYS>set arr1 = [1,2,3]
 
%SYS>set arr2 = [6,5,4]
 
%SYS>zw arr1.addAll(arr2)
[1,2,3,6,5,4]  ; <DYNAMIC ARRAY>
 
%SYS>do arr1.addAll(arr2)
 
%SYS>zw arr1
arr1=[1,2,3,6,5,4,6,5,4]  ; <DYNAMIC ARRAY>
