How to append a string to each element of a Bash array?

Question

I have an array in Bash, each element is a string. How can I append another string to each element? In Java, the code is something like:

for (int i=0; i<array.length; i++) {     array[i].append("content"); } 

Answer 1

As mentioned by hal

  array=( "${array[@]/%/_content}" ) 

will append the '_content' string to each element.

  array=( "${array[@]/#/prefix_}" ) 

will prepend 'prefix_' string to each element
