How to merge 2 arrays into third array

I have 2 arrays in ruby 

firstarray = ["1212","3434"]
secondarray = ["9999","6666","7777"]

I want to merge these 2 arrays into thirdarray and thirdarray should have following structure-

thirdarray = ["1212","3434","9999","6666","7777"]

I was planning to use this:

thirdarray = [firstarray, secondarray.join(", ")]

but this gives me below which does not have " " around individual values 9999, 6666, 7777.

["1212", "3434", "9999 , 6666 , 7777"]

How can I do that?

another way: 

> thirdarray = [*firstarray, *secondarray]
#=> ["1212", "3434", "9999", "6666", "7777"]

if you want to add extra elements:

> thirdarray = [*firstarray, *secondarray, "additional-1" ]
#=> ["1212", "3434", "9999", "6666", "7777", "additional-1"]

You can also use concat operator.

Below edits your 'firstarray' by appending your 'secondarray' elements to the end of 'firstarray'. concat is more performant than '+'

firstarray.concat(secondarray)

Just use the + operator on those two arrays.

firstarray = ["1212","3434"]
secondarray = ["9999","6666","7777"]

thirdarray = firstarray + secondarray

=> ["1212", "3434", "9999", "6666", "7777"]
