Is array.reduce uses push in background?

[k3tu1]

Tell us what’s happening:

   **Your code so far**

function nonMutatingPush(original, newItem) {
 // Only change code below this line
 return (newItem.reduce(function (x,y) {
   return x.concat(y)
 }, original))
// return original.push(newItem);
 // Only change code above this line
}
var first = [1, 2, 3];
var second = [4, 5];
nonMutatingPush(first, second);

So far I was trying to use reduce and FCC compiler giving me the error

Your code should not use the **push** method.

Can someone explain to me why it’s saying like that?

Hi, remove the comment:

// return original.push(newItem);

@moriel is right. The freeCodeCamp tests check to see if your code contains forbidden methods. Even if you have commented them out, computers are stupid and see the text there.
