Append vs. prepend vs. concatenate

I'd like to see a little discussion distinguishing the concepts of append, prepend, and concatenate. Specifically, I venture that concatenation is more symmetric in that it emphasizes neither the first nor the second argument in binary operations. In contrast, append means to take a second something and put it after a first something. Furthermore, prepend means to take a second something and put it before a first something.

concatenate(x, y) = x.append(y) = y.prepend(x)

Assuming that this is something that textbooks distinguish, what should we say in this article? —Quantling (talk | contribs) 22:01, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
