In FunctionalJava.List, what does "snoc" mean?

FunctionJava's List class has a snoc method that does append: snoc

The description is as follows:

Appends (snoc) the given element to this list to produce a new list.

What does the word "snoc" here mean? I have tried to look it up in Wikipedia and as an acronym with no success. Does this mean it is doing some special kind of append?

Edit: Thanks all for pointing me to cons

Solution

  • The name snoc is cons backwards.

    Hope this helps.
