Too Long; Didn't Read

The most common way to remove the last element is to use the `pop()` method. There are a few different ways to do this - but one of the most common is to remove it permanently. The other common method is the `splice` method, which modifies the original array. Using `slice() makes a [shallow copy] of an array, so it is not an independent copy of the original. The slice method is not the same way - but it makes a 'deep copy' of the array.
