• Arrays, Lists Maps and Sets can be concatenated using the ++ method
• You can chain this to concatenate multiple collections, e.g. List(1, 2, 3) ++ List(4, 5, 6) ++ List(7, 8, 9)
• For Maps duplicate keys are overwritten (in the result) by the rightmost Map that has them, e.g. Map("key" -> "value") ++ Map("key" -> "value2") will generate a new Map containing Map("key" -> "value2")
• Concatenation is not modifying the collections, it simply generates a new array that contains all elements of the first list followed by the elements of the second and so forth
