const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

console.log('lastNumber: ' + lastNumber);

// Add an item to the end of the array

# Array Methods - push, pop, unshift, shift

Let's learn about methods for managing elements within an array.

<br />

## array.push

The `push` method adds a new item to the end of an array. It's like adding a card to the top of a stack of cards.

Example:

```javascript title="Example of push method"
const fruits = ['apple', 'banana'];
fruits.push('cherry');

console.log(fruits); // Output: ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
```

<br />


## array.pop

The `pop` method removes the last item from an array and returns that item. It's like taking the top card from a stack of cards.

Example:

```javascript title="Example of pop method"
const fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'];
const lastFruit = fruits.pop();

console.log(lastFruit); // Output: "cherry"
console.log(fruits); // Output: ["apple", "banana"]
```

<br />

## array.unshift

The `unshift` method adds a new item to the beginning of an array. It's like adding a card to the bottom of a stack of cards.

Example:

```javascript title="Example of unshift method"
const fruits = ['banana', 'cherry'];
fruits.unshift('apple');

console.log(fruits); // Output: ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
```
<br />

## array.shift

The `shift` method removes the first item from an array and returns that item. It's like taking the bottom card from a stack of cards.

Example:

```javascript title="Example of shift method"
const fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'];
const firstFruit = fruits.shift();

console.log(firstFruit); // Output: "apple"
console.log(fruits); // Output: ["banana", "cherry"]
```

The `array.pop` method removes the last item of the array and returns it. For example, in the array ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'], using the `pop` method will return 'cherry' and the array will become ['apple', 'banana'].
