# --description--
|
|
|
|
Another way to change the data in an array is with the `.pop()` function.
|
|
|
|
`.pop()` is used to "pop" a value off of the end of an array. We can store this "popped off" value by assigning it to a variable. In other words, `.pop()` removes the last element from an array and returns that element.
|
|
|
|
Any type of entry can be "popped" off of an array - numbers, strings, even nested arrays.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var threeArr = [1, 4, 6];
|
|
var oneDown = threeArr.pop();
|
|
console.log(oneDown); // Returns 6
|
|
console.log(threeArr); // Returns [1, 4]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Use the `.pop()` function to remove the last item from `myArray`, assigning the "popped off" value to `removedFromMyArray`.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`myArray` should only contain `[["John", 23]]`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(
|
|
(function (d) {
|
|
if (d[0][0] == 'John' && d[0][1] === 23 && d[1] == undefined) {
|
|
return true;
|
|
} else {
|
|
return false;
|
|
}
|
|
})(myArray)
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should use `pop()` on `myArray`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(/removedFromMyArray\s*=\s*myArray\s*.\s*pop\s*(\s*)/.test(code));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`removedFromMyArray` should only contain `["cat", 2]`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(
|
|
(function (d) {
|
|
if (d[0] == 'cat' && d[1] === 2 && d[2] == undefined) {
|
|
return true;
|
|
} else {
|
|
return false;
|
|
}
|
|
})(removedFromMyArray)
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# --seed--
|
|
|
|
## --after-user-code--
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
(function(y, z){return 'myArray = ' + JSON.stringify(y) + ' & removedFromMyArray = ' + JSON.stringify(z);})(myArray, removedFromMyArray);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## --seed-contents--
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Setup
|
|
var myArray = [["John", 23], ["cat", 2]];
|
|
|
|
// Only change code below this line
|
|
var removedFromMyArray;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# --solutions--
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var myArray = [["John", 23], ["cat", 2]];
|
|
var removedFromMyArray = myArray.pop();
|
|
```
