Not sure how to do this to remove first item from first var and add to second var

var orderQueue = ['1XT567437','1U7857317','1I9222528']; orderQueue.shift(); var shipping = orderQueue[0];

script.js 
var orderQueue = ['1XT567437','1U7857317','1I9222528'];
orderQueue.shift();
var shipping = orderQueue[0];

You can assign the "orderQueue.shift()" directly to the shipping variable.

I thought it just wanted shipping to be the first token in array of orderQueue, these are teh directions :

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.
