Bummer! Nothing is Working.

Javascript Loops and Objects - Tracking Multiple Items with Arrays - Removing Items from an Array - Task 1

Nothing I do seems to work, but in the console I can get the code to work.

This does not work: Bummer! It doesn't look like you called the .shift() method on the orderQueue array like this: orderQueue.shift();

var orderQueue = ['1XT567437','1U7857317','1I9222528'];
var shipping = [];
shipping.push(orderQueue.shift());

This does not work: Bummer! It doesn't look like you stored the first item from the array in the shipping variable.

var orderQueue = ['1XT567437','1U7857317','1I9222528'];
var shipping = [];
shipping.push(orderQueue[0]);
orderQueue.shift();

Yes, your code is functional. However, they never say that the variable shipping should be an array. And I think that's where the challenge fails. Take a look at the code that passes the challenge.

var orderQueue = ['1XT567437','1U7857317','1I9222528'];
var shipping = orderQueue.shift();
