how do i print the first elements in an array in js code example

Example 1: javascript take first element of array

const array = [1,2,3,4,5];
const firstElement = array.shift();

// array -> [2,3,4,5]
// firstElement -> 1

Example 2: js get first item from array

var colors = ["red", "green", "blue"];
var red=colors.shift();
//colors is now ["green","blue"];
