 ## Instructions
 <section id='instructions'>
-Rewrite the code so the global array <code>bookList</code> is not changed inside either function. The <code>add</code> function should add the given <code>bookName</code> to the end of an array. The <code>remove</code> function should remove the given <code>bookName</code> from an array. Both functions should return an array, and any new parameters should be added before the <code>bookName</code> one.
