1,104 PointsRemoving items from arrays Challenge Task 1
Hi can can any one help am stuck on the first challenge question for this video.
"Challenge Task 1 of 2
The orderQueue array contains a list of customer orders. Create a new variable named shipping -- remove the first item from the array and place it in the shipping variable. "
The error am getting
Bummer! It doesn't look like you stored the first item from the array in the shipping variable.
My Code.
var orderQueue = ['1XT567437','1U7857317','1I9222528'];
orderQueue.shift();
var shipping = ['1XT567437'];

The challenge:
1) The orderQueue array contains a list of customer orders.
var orderQueue = ['1XT567437','1U7857317','1I9222528'];
2) Create a new variable named shipping
var shipping;
3) Remove the first item from the array and place it in the shipping variable.
- Here is where you have the error, you're passing nothing to the shift function, and you're not even saving it inside the shipping variable:
orderQueue.shift();
- This is how you save the first item of the list inside the shipping varible. You're passing to the shift function the index 0 (which represents the first item in the array).
var shipping = orderQueue.shift([0]);
I hope this helps you to understand the challenge :)

Is not working. Why

var shipping = orderQueue.shift();

const orderQueue = ['1XT567437','1U7857317','1I9222528'];
var shipping = orderQueue.shift(); // Challenge Task 1
var cancelled = orderQueue.pop(); // Challenge Task 2

But I think this should work var shipping = [orderQueue.shift()]; Because shift return a value.
