What this snippet does

push/pop work on the end; unshift/shift work on the front — all four mutate the original array.

Expected output

[ 2, 3, 4 ]

Why practise typing this

Typing arrays code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation JavaScript uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
