How to append object multiple time to an array

Question

I want to append all of my object in a single line. I have some object like this:

let abaddon = Hero(name: "abaddon")
let ember = Hero(name: "ember")
let gondar = Hero(name: "gondar")
let kael = Hero(name: "kael")
let kunkka = Hero(name: "kunkka")
let layana = Hero(name: "layana")
let lucifer = Hero(name: "lucifer")
let omni = Hero(name: "omni")
let soul = Hero(name: "soul")
let wind = Hero(name: "wind")

The Hero Object like so:

class Hero {

    var name: String!
    var image: UIImage? {
        return UIImage(named: "\(name)")!
    }

    required init(name: String) {
        self.name = name
    }
}

And I want to put them to this array: var heroes = [Hero]()

But I see append only be able to put one object each time.

heroes.append(abaddon)

How to append multiple objects in single line, something like this:

heroes.append([abaddon, ember, gondar])

Any helps would be appreciated, thanks.

Answer 1

If you want to append multiple objects, You could wrap them into an array themselves and use appendContentsOf.

heroes.append(contentsOf:[abaddon, ember, gondor])

Answer 2

I try like this:

let heroes = ["abaddon","ember","gondar",etc].map { Hero(name: $0) } 

So I don't need to declare all objects
