# append(moving:)

Moves the elements of a buffer to the end of this array, leaving the buffer uninitialized.

## Declaration

```swift
mutating func append(moving items: UnsafeMutableBufferPointer<Element>)
```

## Parameters

- `items`: A fully initialized buffer whose contents to move into the array.

## Discussion

Discussion If the array does not have sufficient capacity to hold all items in the buffer, then this reallocates the array’s storage to grow its capacity, using a geometric growth rate. note: O(count + items.count)
