(A3 1.26) It is recommended to use pushBack instead of BIS_fnc_arrayPush.
_array = [1,2,3];
_array pushBack 4; //same as [_array, 4] call BIS_fnc_arrayPush;
Description
Insert an element to the back of the given array. This command modifies the original array. (see also: pushBackUnique)
Syntax
array pushBack element
Parameters:
Returns: Number - index of inserted element
Examples
Example 1
_arr = [1,2,3];
_arr pushBack 4;
hint str _arr; //[1,2,3,4]
Example 2
_arr = [1,[2,4],3];
(_arr select 1) pushBack [5,6];
hint str _arr //[1,[2,4,[5,6]],3]

It's highly recommended to use the new pushBack command, up to 43% faster than set and up to 11843% faster a plus b!

pushBack does not support nil while set and a plus b do. For example:
_array = [];
for "_i" from 0 to 3 do
{
_array pushBack nil;
};
hint str _array; //hint is []

Array "push" implementation using pushBack, alternative to BIS_fnc_arrayPush
KK_fnc_push = {
_this select 0 pushBack (_this select 1);
_this select 0
};
// Example
arr = [1,2,3];
[arr, 4] call KK_fnc_push; //both arr and return of function are now [1,2,3,4]

Note that pushBack does not create a new object.
Therefore, if you edit an object that was pushed back to an array, it also affects the object in the array.
e.g.
_first_squence = [1,2,3];
_second_squence = [5,4];
_first_squence pushBack _second_squence;
systemChat str _first_squence // prints [1,2,3,[5,4]]]
reverse _second_squence;
systemChat str _first_squence // prints [1,2,3,[4,5]]]
If you pushBack an array for instance, you can just copy it to generate a new object. e.g.
_first_squence pushBack +_second_squence;
