Quick Reference
The Array pop() method removes and returns the last element of an array, changing the original array.
<!-- html element to place output -->
<p id='my_cars'></p>
Example 1
// array
let cars = ['Lamborghini', 'Ferrari', 'Maserati', 'Alfa Romeo'];
// remove the last item from the array
cars.pop();
// output changed array info to HTML element
document.getElementById('my_cars').innerHTML = 'Remaining cars: ' + cars;
Example 2
// array
let cars = ['Lamborghini', 'Ferrari', 'Maserati', 'Alfa Romeo'];
// remove the last item from the array and store it in a variable
let removed = fruits.pop();
// output removed item info to HTML element
document.getElementById('my_cars').innerHTML = 'Removed car: ' + removed;
Note
Arrays count starting from zero NOT one. So item 1 is position [0], item 2 is position [1], and item 3 is position [2] ... and so on.
Output
Example 1
Remaining cars: Lamborghini,Ferrari,Maserati
Example 2
Removed car: Alfa Romeo
Syntax

JAVASCRIPT NOTES:
- When using JavaScript, single or double quotation marks are acceptable and work identically to one another; choose whichever you prefer, and stay consistent
- JavaScript is a case-sensitive language; firstName is NOT the same as firstname
- Arrays count starting from zero NOT one; so item 1 is position [0], item 2 is position [1], and item 3 is position [2] … and so on
- JavaScript variables must begin with a letter, $, or _
- JavaScript variables are case sensitive (x is not the same as X)
