JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:
the instructions say to remove the first two elements, wich i think would be 0 and 1, but the test will not pass unless you use 0 and 2? or am i missunderstanding something???

Your code so far


function htmlColorNames(arr) {
  // change code below this line
 
    arr.splice(0,2, "DarkSalmon", "BlanchedAlmond");
  
  // change code above this line
  return arr;
} 
 
// do not change code below this line
console.log(htmlColorNames(['DarkGoldenRod', 'WhiteSmoke', 'LavenderBlush', 'PaleTurqoise', 'FireBrick']));

From MDN docs about the second parameter:

An integer indicating the number of elements in the array to remove from start .

So arr.splice(0, 1) is removing only 1 element since the start (in your case, 0).
Thus, removing only the element at index 0.
