js arry shift code example
Example 1: array shift javascript
//The shift() method removes the first element from an array
//and returns that removed element.
//This method changes the length of the array.
const array1 = [1, 2, 3];
const firstElement = array1.shift();
console.log(array1);
// expected output: Array [2, 3]
console.log(firstElement);
// expected output: 1
Example 2: insert element at beginning of array javascript
// Use unshift method if you don't mind mutating issue
// If you want to avoid mutating issue
const array = [3, 2, 1]
const newFirstElement = 4
const newArray = [newFirstElement].concat(array) // [ 4, 3, 2, 1 ]
console.log(newArray);
