# --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.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var ourArray = ["Stimpson", "J", "cat"];
|
|
ourArray.shift(); // ourArray now equals ["J", "cat"]
|
|
ourArray.unshift("Happy");
|
|
// ourArray now equals ["Happy", "J", "cat"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Add `["Paul",35]` to the beginning of the `myArray` variable using `unshift()`.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`myArray` should now have `[["Paul", 35], ["dog", 3]]`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
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)
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

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

var myArray = [["John", 23], ["dog", 3]];
|

myArray.shift();
|
|
|
|
// Only change code below this line
