    It's the far superior solution. Why shift all the elements in the array individually, when you can just shift the index to achieve the same result? It's a total waste of processing to shift the entire array. What if the array was 1,000,000,000 elements long, and you had to shift multiple times? In an interview they would probably expect you to do it this way, with an explanation of your logic.
