## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
<code>pop()</code> always removes the last element of an array. What if you want to remove the first?
|
|
That's where <code>.shift()</code> comes in. It works just like <code>.pop()</code>, except it removes the first element instead of the last.
|
|
</section>
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
<section id='instructions'>
|
|
Use the <code>.shift()</code> function to remove the first item from <code>myArray</code>, assigning the "shifted off" value to <code>removedFromMyArray</code>.

## Tests

<section id='tests'>
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
tests:
|
|
- text: <code>myArray</code> should now equal <code>[["dog", 3]]</code>.
|
|
testString: assert((function(d){if(d[0][0] == 'dog' && d[0][1] === 3 && d[1] == undefined){return true;}else{return false;}})(myArray), '<code>myArray</code> should now equal <code>[["dog", 3]]</code>.');
|
|
- text: <code>removedFromMyArray</code> should contain <code>["John", 23]</code>.
|
|
testString: assert((function(d){if(d[0] == 'John' && d[1] === 23 && typeof removedFromMyArray === 'object'){return true;}else{return false;}})(removedFromMyArray), '<code>removedFromMyArray</code> should contain <code>["John", 23]</code>.');

<div id='js-seed'>
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Example
|
|
var ourArray = ["Stimpson", "J", ["cat"]];
|
|
var removedFromOurArray = ourArray.shift();
|
|
// removedFromOurArray now equals "Stimpson" and ourArray now equals ["J", ["cat"]].
|
|
|
|
// Setup
|
|
var myArray = [["John", 23], ["dog", 3]];
|
|
|
|
// Only change code below this line.

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