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

var shipping = shift (orderQueue [0] );

This is the question I was trying to answer:

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.

Helle Keren,

To accomplish the goal you need to call the shift method on the orderQueue array variable because the shift method is a member of arrays. It should look something like this.

var shipping = array.shift(0);

I hope this helps.

It needs the var of orderQueue to call the first item from so this is the correct answer:

var shipping = orderQueue.shift(0);

hope this helps some of you.
