# --description--
An easy way to append data to the end of an array is via the `push()` method.
The `push()` method takes one or more <dfn>arguments</dfn> and appends them to the end of the array, in the order in which they appear. It returns the new length of the array.
Examples:
```js
const arr1 = [1, 2, 3];
arr1.push(4, 5);
const arr2 = ["Stimpson", "J", "cat"];
arr2.push(["happy", "joy"]);
```
`arr1` now has the value `[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]` and `arr2` has the value `["Stimpson", "J", "cat", ["happy", "joy"]]`.
# --instructions--
Push `["dog", 3]` onto the end of the `myArray` variable.
# --hints--
`myArray` should now equal `[["John", 23], ["cat", 2], ["dog", 3]]`.
```js
assert(
(function (d) {
if (
d[2] != undefined &&
d[0][0] == 'John' &&
d[0][1] === 23 &&
d[2][0] == 'dog' &&
d[2][1] === 3 &&
d[2].length == 2
) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
})(myArray)
);
```
# --seed--
## --after-user-code--
```js
(function(z){return 'myArray = ' + JSON.stringify(z);})(myArray);
```
## --seed-contents--
```js
// Setup
const myArray = [["John", 23], ["cat", 2]];
// Only change code below this line
```
# --solutions--
```js
const myArray = [["John", 23], ["cat", 2]];
myArray.push(["dog",3]);
```
