  1. First create a new variable named shipping. var shipping
  2. Secondly we need to remove the first element of the array and add that first element to the variable shipping.
    • We can do this by using the .shift() method on our orderQueue array like so... shipping = orderQueue.shift(); *The .shift() method removes the first element in an array and returns that element.

The values for both of the variables you'll create in this challenge should be set by calling the appropriate array method on orderQueue, see this video for a demonstration:
