numpy.concatenate((a1, a2, ...), axis=0, out=None)
Join a sequence of arrays along an existing axis.
Parameters
a1, a2, …sequence of array_like
The arrays must have the same shape, except in the dimension corresponding to axis (the first, by default).
axisint, optional
The axis along which the arrays will be joined. If axis is None, arrays are flattened before use. Default is 0.
outndarray, optional
If provided, the destination to place the result. The shape must be correct, matching that of what concatenate would have returned if no out argument were specified.
Returns
resndarray
The concatenated array.

Notes
When one or more of the arrays to be concatenated is a MaskedArray, this function will return a MaskedArray object instead of an ndarray, but the input masks are not preserved. In cases where a MaskedArray is expected as input, use the ma.concatenate function from the masked array module instead.
Examples
>>> a = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
>>> b = np.array([[5, 6]])
>>> np.concatenate((a, b), axis=0)
array([[1, 2],
[3, 4],
[5, 6]])
>>> np.concatenate((a, b.T), axis=1)
array([[1, 2, 5],
[3, 4, 6]])
>>> np.concatenate((a, b), axis=None)
array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])This function will not preserve masking of MaskedArray inputs.
>>> a = np.ma.arange(3)
>>> a[1] = np.ma.masked
>>> b = np.arange(2, 5)
>>> a
masked_array(data=[0, --, 2],
mask=[False, True, False],
fill_value=999999)
>>> b
array([2, 3, 4])
>>> np.concatenate([a, b])
masked_array(data=[0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4],
mask=False,
fill_value=999999)
>>> np.ma.concatenate([a, b])
masked_array(data=[0, --, 2, 2, 3, 4],
mask=[False, True, False, False, False, False],
fill_value=999999)
