56bbb991ad1ed5201cd392ce Manipulate Arrays With unshift() 1

Description

Not only can you shift elements off of the beginning of an array, you can also unshift elements to the beginning of an array i.e. add elements in front of the array. .unshift() works exactly like .push(), but instead of adding the element at the end of the array, unshift() adds the element at the beginning of the array.

Instructions

Add ["Paul",35] to the beginning of the myArray variable using unshift().

Tests

tests:
  - text: <code>myArray</code> should now have [["Paul", 35], ["dog", 3]].
    testString: assert((function(d){if(typeof d[0] === "object" && d[0][0] == 'Paul' && d[0][1] === 35 && d[1][0] != undefined && d[1][0] == 'dog' && d[1][1] != undefined && d[1][1] == 3){return true;}else{return false;}})(myArray), '<code>myArray</code> should now have [["Paul", 35], ["dog", 3]].');

Challenge Seed

// Example
var ourArray = ["Stimpson", "J", "cat"];
ourArray.shift(); // ourArray now equals ["J", "cat"]
ourArray.unshift("Happy");
// ourArray now equals ["Happy", "J", "cat"]

// Setup
var myArray = [["John", 23], ["dog", 3]];
myArray.shift();

// Only change code below this line.


After Test

(function(y, z){return 'myArray = ' + JSON.stringify(y);})(myArray);

Solution

var myArray = [["John", 23], ["dog", 3]];
myArray.shift();
myArray.unshift(["Paul", 35]);
