Passing anything as a paramater to a method (function) does not make the thing available to the object or 'this' outside of the function. The array will not be copied to a local array. The object will have a 'reference' to the original array and changing it will change the original array which is what you want. In order to have a local copy of the array you need to copy it; use the concat() function into a new empty array.
