I have this part of code:
```julia
#can't be change
len::Int64 = 4
a = rand(Float64, len)
a_1 = Int64.(floor.(@view a[1:2:len]))
a_2 = @view a[2:2:len]
display(a_1)
#can be changed
b = vcat[Vector{Any}(a_1), a_2]
```
It throws this error:
```julia
ERROR: LoadError: syntax: unexpected semicolon in array expression around /home/matteobacci/Desktop/Programmi/MODULO_05/executable_and_libraries/bin/aa.jl:95
Stacktrace:
```
I want to concatenate the views of these array. Do I need to drop the view?
They could be pretty long arrays and I don’t want too much stuff on the computer.

You need parentheses to call `vcat`, i.e.
```julia
vcat(Vector{Any}(a_1), a_2)
```
Alternatively, you can use square brackets with a semicolon, and no `vcat`, which implicitly calls `vcat`:
```julia
[Vector{Any}(a_1); a_2]
```

Your code doesn’t give that error for me. The error message that I get from your code with `vcat[...]` is
```julia
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching getindex(::typeof(vcat), ...)
```
which makes sense because `vcat[...]` is equivalent to `getindex(vcat, ...)`.
