use the array method, Remove the last item from the orderQueue array and store it in the variable cancelled.

Question

The question was "Now create a new variable named cancelled. Remove the last item from the orderQueue array and store it in the variable cancelled. Use the array method you learned in the last video for this challenge."
I have completely the challenge. What I have done with the code is 
```javascript
var orderQueue = ['1XT567437','1U7857317','1I9222528'];
var shipping =[];
var cancelled = [];
orderQueue.shift();
orderQueue.pop();
```
I do not see any thing to store in the variable "cancelled" without the method function got me suspect because it does not make any sense at all. 
if I put the var cancelled = [2]. it will be store of array method...
Do you have any idea to put in the var cancelled inside the array? 
Is there possible?  
javascript
var cancelled =[ orderQueue.pop() ];

This is how I simplify this code challange:
```Javascript
var orderQueue = ['1XT567437','1U7857317','1I9222528'];
var shipping = orderQueue.shift();
var cancelled = orderQueue.pop();
```

Hi @Brian van Vlymen (https://teamtreehouse.com/brianvanvlymen3) 
Looks like you've found a bug in the code challenge. Your solution shouldn't have passed. I've updated the challenge to fix this problem.
The challenge is asking you to store the first item from the array into the shipping variable.  You would use the .shift() method to do that. It returns the first value from the array. For example, say you had an array like this: 
javascript
var a = [1,2,3];

And you want to get the first item from that array and store it in a variable named first. You'd do this:
javascript
var first = a.shift();

Hope that helps.

Can you post a link to the challenge as I don't recall which course this is from?
Does cancelled need to be an array?
If 'yes', then cancelled.push(orderQueue.pop()); -- remove last item from array orderQueue and store in an array.
If 'no' then cancelled = orderQueue.pop(); -- remove last item from array orderQueue and store in a regular variable.
