array

The orderQueue array contains a list of customer orders. Create a new variable named shipping -- remove the first item from the array and place it in the shipping variable.

script.js 
var orderQueue = ['1XT567437','1U7857317','1I9222528'];
orderQueue.shift('1XT567437');
function 
var shipping = orderQueue.shift('1XT567437');

You've got some extra code there. The 2nd line removes the first item but doesn't save it anywhere, and the word "function" by itself on the 3rd line is a syntax error.

But the last line should do the trick (except that you don't need to pass any argument to shift).
