# Array Methods - push, pop, unshift, shift

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

<br />

## array.push

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

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

console.log(fruits); // Prints ["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 deck of cards.

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

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

<br />

## array.unshift

The `unshift` method adds new items to the beginning of an array. It's like inserting a card at the bottom of a deck of cards.

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

console.log(fruits); // Prints ["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 deck of cards.

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

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

The `array.pop` method removes and returns the last item of the array. For instance, if you have the array ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'], using the `pop` method will return 'cherry' and the array becomes ['apple', 'banana'].
