--description--
pop()
always removes the last element of an array. What if you want to remove the first?
That's where .shift()
comes in. It works just like .pop()
, except it removes the first element instead of the last.
Example:
const ourArray = ["Stimpson", "J", ["cat"]];
const removedFromOurArray = ourArray.shift();
removedFromOurArray
would have a value of the string Stimpson
, and ourArray
would have ["J", ["cat"]]
.
--instructions--
Use the .shift()
function to remove the first item from myArray
and assign the "shifted off" value to a new variable, removedFromMyArray
.
--hints--
myArray
should now equal [["dog", 3]]
.
assert(
(function (d) {
if (d[0][0] == 'dog' && d[0][1] === 3 && d[1] == undefined) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
})(myArray)
);
removedFromMyArray
should contain ["John", 23]
.
assert(
(function (d) {
if (
d[0] == 'John' &&
d[1] === 23 &&
typeof removedFromMyArray === 'object'
) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
})(removedFromMyArray)
);

--after-user-code--
if (typeof removedFromMyArray !== 'undefined') (function(y, z){return 'myArray = ' + JSON.stringify(y) + ' & removedFromMyArray = ' + JSON.stringify(z);})(myArray, removedFromMyArray);
