 ## Day 1 Questions
 
 1. How would you log the string `"Hello World!"` to the console?
+  * ``var string = "Hello World!";``
+  * ``console.log(string);``
 
 1. What is the character you would use to indicate comments in a JavaScript file?
+  * ``//`` for one line of comments
+  * ``/* ... */`` for multiple lines of comments
 
 1. Explain the difference between an integer and a floating-point number?
-
+  * An Integar is a whole number ``1``, ``2``, ``1941``
+  * A floating-point number is one which contains a decimal ``.75``, ``1.5``, ``2.25``
 1. In the space below, create a variable `animal` that holds the string `"zebra"`.
+  * ```java Script
 
+  var animal = "zebra";
+```
 1. How would you log the string `"zebra"` using the variable that you created above?
+  * console.log(animal);
 
 1. What is concatenation? Use concatenation to log a sentence to the console using the variable `animal`.
+  * Concatenation is a programming term which means ``join together``
+  * console.log("I don't know much about the " + animal +  ", just that it's stripes act as a camouflage from predators.");

+# Array Methods
+
+## 1. Pop Method
+  * ``.pop()`` _removes the last element_ from an array, and returns that element to the caller
+  * Changes the length of the array
+  * ``arrayName.pop()`` removes last item from the ``arrayName`` ``array``
+
+## 2. Push Method  
+  * ``.push()`` _adds one more more elements_ to the end of an array and returns the new length of the array
+  * changes the length of the array
+  * ``arrayName.push("thing", 2, "thing 3")`` adds ``"thing"``, ``2``, and ``"thing 3"`` to the end of the ``arrayName`` `array``
+
+## Shift Method
+  * ``.shift()`` _removes the first element_ from an array and returns that removed element to the caller
+  * _removes_ the elementh at the _zeroeth_ index, and shifts the values at consecutive indexes down
+  * ``arrayName.shift()`` removes first element from the ``arrayName`` ``array``
+
+## Unshift Method
+  * ``.unshift()`` _add one or more elements_ to the beginning of an array, and returns the new length of the array
+  * _inserts_ given values to the beginning of an array-like object
+  * ``arrayName.unshift("thing", "thing 2", 3)`` adds ``"thing"``, ``"thing 2"``, and ``3`` to the beginning of the ``arrayName`` ``array``

 ## Day 2 Questions
 
 1. Declare a variable named `animals` that stores an array containing the following strings: `"zebra", "giraffe", "elephant"`.
+  * var animals = ["zebra", "giraffe", "elephant"];
 
 2. Using the array `animals`, how would you access `"giraffe"`?
+  * console.log(animals[1]);
 
 3. How would you add `"lion"` to the `animals` array?
+  * animals.push("lion")
 
 4. Name and describe two additional array methods.
+  * the ``pop method`` removes the last element in an array, and when logged returns that element back to the user. In our ``animals array`` it would be the ``"lion"`` we just _added_
+  * the ``shift method`` will do the same but to the element in the zeroeth index position. In the ``animals array`` that would remove and return ``"zebra"`` when logged.
 
 5. What are the boolean values in JavaScript?
+  * ``true`` and ``false``
 
 6. In JavaScript, how would you evaluate if `2` is equal to `25`? What is the result of this evaluation?
+  * ``console.log("2" == "25")`` would return ``false``
 
 7. In JavaScript, how would you evaluate if `25` is greater than `2`? What is the result of this evaluation?
+  * ``console.log("25" >= "2")`` would return ``true``
