Arrays: Methods

I want to make sure I understand the different functions within the methods of an array:

myArray.pop() will remove the last item of the array and throw it away.

myArray.push() will add an item to the array

myArray.shift() will remove the last item of the array and return it within a variable

myArray.unshift() has the same function as push?

I think I understand...

  • myArray.pop() remove last item on the array
  • myArray.push(item) insert item at the end of the array
  • myArray.shift() remove the first item on the array
  • myArray.unshift(item) insert item at the beginning of the array.

That is a tad bit confusing to the say the least

Hello ,

this is False

myArray.shift() will remove the last item of the array and return it within a variable.

myArray.shift() will remove the first element in the array (the element with the index 0),

myArray.unshift() will add the value at the beginning of the array()

hope this will help
