iOS Swift Basics (retired) Collections Modifying an Array

Why make removed items from an array list to a constant?

So on this challenge, i had to make a todo list, append two items to it, remove an item from it and assign that removed item into a constant. Why would i do this in the first place? what is the purpose of taking that removed item and assigning it to a constant?

arrays.swift
var todo = ["Learn Swift", "Build App", "Deploy App"]
todo.append ("Debug App")
todo.append ("Fix Bugs")
todo.removeAtIndex(2)
let item = "Deploy App"

Imagine you are building a todo list app for iPhone. You may want to save a list of recently removed items at the bottom of your list, in which case assigning those items to a new array would be useful in case you want to "undo" those items.
