arrays

please help me to answer the bollow question. I tried several options but are not working

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'];

var firstiterm=orderQueue.shift();
var shipping=[firstiterm];
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

<script src="script.js"></script>

Why don't you assign orderQueue.shift() to shipping var directly? Like this var shipping = orderQueue.shift();

Ruben is right, give this a try:

var shipping = orderQueue.shift();

The same syntax would hold true for the next section in the code challenge where you use the pop() method.
