How do i place all of the contents within an array into a separate variable??

I know the .shift method takes out the fist in line and places that one within a variable but i cant really figure out how to do it for all of the contents within the array. What should i do?

script.js 
var orderQueue = ['1XT567437','1U7857317','1I9222528'];

var shipping.shift('orderQueue');
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

  <meta charset="utf-8">

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

This challenge doesn't ask you to remove "all of the contents within the array". If you actually wanted to do such a thing, you'd first need to decide where you were going to put them all.

But for solving the challenge, you have a syntax issue with the "shift" method. The method doesn't take an argument, but it must be applied to the object that will be shifted. Then, you'll need an assignment ("=") to put the removed item into your variable:

var shipping = orderQueue.shift();
