# `merge` Function
2020-02-05 19:45:49 +01:00
`merge` takes an arbitrary number of maps or objects, and returns a single map
2020-02-14 03:27:35 +01:00
or object that contains a merged set of elements from all arguments.
2020-02-05 19:45:49 +01:00
If more than one given map or object defines the same key or attribute, then
the one that is later in the argument sequence takes precedence. If the
argument types do not match, the resulting type will be an object matching the
type structure of the attributes after the merging rules have been applied.
## Examples
```

> merge({a="b", c="d"}, {e="f", c="z"})
{
"a" = "b"
"c" = "z"
"e" = "f"
}
```

```
> merge({a="b"}, {a=[1,2], c="z"}, {d=3})
{
"a" = [
1,
2,
]
"c" = "z"
"d" = 3
}
```
