In FunctionalJava.List, what does “snoc” mean?

Question

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

Answer 1

The name snoc is cons backwards.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

It's "cons" reversed as cons prepends, snoc appends.

cons originates from Lisp, I think.
