# append(copying:)

Copies the elements of a span to the end of this array.

## Declaration

```swift
mutating func append(copying newElements: Span<Element>)
```

## Parameters

- `newElements`: A span whose contents to copy into the array.

## Discussion

Discussion If the array does not have sufficient capacity to hold enough elements, then this reallocates the array’s storage to extend its capacity, using a geometric growth rate. note: O(newElements.count) when amortized over many invocations on the same array.
