unshift

NAME

unshift - prepend more elements to the beginning of a list


SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Does the opposite of a shift . Or the opposite of a push , depending on how you look at it. Prepends list to the front of the array, and returns the new number of elements in the array.

Note the LIST is prepended whole, not one element at a time, so the prepended elements stay in the same order. Use reverse to do the reverse.
