I just don't get it.
var orderQueue = ['1XT567437','1U7857317','1I9222528'];
var shipping = orderQueue.shift();
orderQueue.pop(shipping);
var cancelled =orderQueue.pop();

Andrea Boscolo
7,250 PointsIt was the request before this one, I can't delete it. I don't get why when I press check work a pop up error appears telling me the code is wrong.

7,250 PointsNow it works! thanks! but I don't still understand why I have to delete the third line of code..

41,751 PointsThat piece of code removes the first item from the array again which is not what the challenge wants. The challenge wants you to store the first item into a new variable named shipping which you've done on line 2. But, then you used the shift method again on the array again which like I said remove the current first item in the array: '1U7857317'. So now the array looks like this:
"1I9222528" // You can test it at the chrome's console if you want
If my explanation is not clear enough, please respond back, I will try my best to explain better again.

7,250 Pointsthis is from a code challenge into the course JavaScript Loops, Arrays and Objects. The ask is: "Now create a new variable named cancelled. Remove the last item from the orderQueue array and store it in the variable cancelled. Use the array method you learned in the last video for this challenge."
