}

What is t

Answer 1

A generic static version that uses the high performing System.arraycopy without requiring a @SuppressWarnings annotation:

public static  T[] arrayConcat(T[] a, T[] b) {
    T[] both = Arrays.copyOf(a, a.length + b.length);
    System.arraycopy(b, 0, both, a.length, b.length);
    return both;
}
