### `array_pop` example

    <?php
    $stack = array("orange", "banana", "apple", "raspberry");
    $fruit = array_pop($stack);
    print_r($stack);
    ?>

After this, `$stack` will have only 3 elements:

    Array
    (
        [0] => orange
        [1] => banana
        [2] => apple
    )

and `raspberry` will be assigned to `$fruit`.
