Two ways to merge two arrays in PHP

echo "rnThe first case rn";
$a=array(1,2,3,4,5,6);
$b=array( 7,8,9);

$c=array_merge ($a,$b);
print_r($c);
$c=$a+$b;
print_r($c);
$c=$b+ $a;
print_r($c);
echo "rnSecond case rn";
$a=array('a','b','c','d ','e','f');
$b=array('a','x','y');

$c=array_merge ($a,$b);
print_r($c) ;
$c=$a+$b;
print_r($c);
$c=$b+$a;
print_r($c);

echo "rnThird case rn";

$a= array(
 1=>'a',
 2=>'b',
 3=>'c',
 4=>'d',
 5=>'e',
 6= >'f');
$b=array(
 1=>'a',
 7=>'x',
 8=>'y');

$c=array_merge ($a ,$b);
print_r($c);
$c=$a+$b;
print_r($c);
$c=$b+$a;
print_r($c);
