Changes self

This method changes the object/array the method is called on. For example:

a = ["a", "b", "c"]
b = ["x", "y", "z"]

a.concat(b)  #=> [a", "b", "c", "z", "y", "z"]
a #=> [a", "b", "c", "z", "y", "z"]

In this example the object A is modified, the method modifies the object, then returns the new object.
