## Usage
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var shift = require( '@stdlib/utils/shift' );
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### shift( collection )
|
|
|
|
Removes and returns the first element of a `collection`. A `collection` may be either an [`Array`][mdn-array], [`Typed Array`][mdn-typed-array], or an array-like [`Object`][mdn-object] (i.e., an [`Object`][mdn-object] having a valid writable `length` property).
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var arr = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ];
|
|
|
|
var out = shift( arr );
|
|
// returns [ [ 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ], 1.0 ]
|
|
|
|
var bool = ( out[ 0 ] === arr );
|
|
// returns true
|
|
|
|
var lastValue = out[ 1 ];
|
|
// returns 1.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In contrast to [`Array.prototype.shift`][mdn-array-shift] which returns only the removed element, the function also returns the shortened collection. For [typed arrays][mdn-typed-array] having a length greater than `0`, the returned collection is a new [typed array][mdn-typed-array] view.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
|
|
|
|
var arr = new Float64Array( 2 );
|
|
arr[ 0 ] = 1.0;
|
|
arr[ 1 ] = 2.0;
|
|
|
|
var out = shift( arr );
|
|
// returns [ <Float64Array>[ 2.0 ], 1.0 ]
|
|
|
|
var bool = ( out[ 0 ] === arr );
|
|
// returns false
|
|
|
|
bool = ( out[ 0 ].buffer === arr.buffer );
|
|
// returns true
|
|
|
|
var lastValue = out[ 1 ];
|
|
// returns 1.0
|
|
```

## Notes
|
|
|
|
- When provided a [typed array][mdn-typed-array], the function does **not** change the underlying [`ArrayBuffer`][mdn-arraybuffer]. The function returns a new [typed array][mdn-typed-array] view whose length is one less than the input [typed array][mdn-typed-array] length. Accordingly, the function does **not** reduce the memory footprint of an input [typed array][mdn-typed-array].
