arrays

please help on the bollow question.

I tried the attached code but it cant work

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

This can achieved with the following...

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

The shift function grabs the first value in the array. So if you set it equal to the shipping variable, it is then stored within shipping.
