Tell us what’s happening:
Please guys, I had to stop this tutorial all because of this challenge. Help me out, I’m lost.

Your code so far


function nextInLine(a, b) {
  // Your code here
  a = 12;
  b = 4;
  a + 1 = b;
  return b;  // Change this line
}

// Test Setup
var testArr = [1,2,3,4,5];

// Display Code
console.log("Before: " + JSON.stringify(testArr));
console.log(nextInLine(testArr, 6)); // Modify this line to test
console.log("After: " + JSON.stringify(testArr));

There are a number of issues with your code, but the biggest issue is that you don’t seem to understand what the assignment is. You need to add a value to an array and return a value that you remove from the array.

Thanks to everyone that contributed. I got it. This was the code I used, tho’ I looked it up on the net: function nextInLine(arr, item) { // Your code here arr.push(item); const shifted = arr.shift(); return shifted; // Change this line }
