[" joseph "," Jane ", " charlie ", " john "]

Example 2: javascript unshift

 array.unshift(variable);

//===========================
 console.log(array);
//output =>
//["what you want to add" ,"A", "B"]

Example 3: 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 newArray = [newFirstElement].concat(array) // [ 4, 3, 2, 1 ]

console.log(newArray);

/*The unshift() adds method elements to the beginning, and push() method 
adds elements to the end of an array.*/
let twentyThree = 'XXIII';
let romanNumerals = ['XXI', 'XXII'];

romanNumerals.unshift('XIX', 'XX');
// now equals ['XIX', 'XX', 'XXI', 'XXII']

romanNumerals.push(twentyThree);
// now equals ['XIX', 'XX', 'XXI', 'XXII', 'XXIII']
