title: Use Destructuring Assignment to Assign Variables from Objects

# --description--
Destructuring allows you to assign a new variable name when extracting values. You can do this by putting the new name after a colon when assigning the value.
Using the same object from the last example:
```js
const user = { name: 'John Doe', age: 34 };
```
Here's how you can give new variable names in the assignment:
```js
const { name: userName, age: userAge } = user;
// userName = 'John Doe', userAge = 34
```
You may read it as "get the value of `user.name` and assign it to a new variable named `userName`" and so on.
# --instructions--
Replace the two assignments with an equivalent destructuring assignment. It should still assign the variables `highToday` and `highTomorrow` the values of `today` and `tomorrow` from the `HIGH_TEMPERATURES` object.
# --hints--
You should remove the ES5 assignment syntax.
```js
assert(
!code.match(/highToday = HIGH_TEMPERATURES\.today/g) &&
!code.match(/highTomorrow = HIGH_TEMPERATURES\.tomorrow/g)
);
```
You should use destructuring to create the `highToday` variable.
```js
assert(
code.match(
/(var|const|let)\s*{\s*(today\s*:\s*highToday[^}]*|[^,]*,\s*today\s*:\s*highToday\s*)}\s*=\s*HIGH_TEMPERATURES(;|\s+|\/\/)/g
)
);
```
You should use destructuring to create the `highTomorrow` variable.
```js
assert(
code.match(
/(var|const|let)\s*{\s*(tomorrow\s*:\s*highTomorrow[^}]*|[^,]*,\s*tomorrow\s*:\s*highTomorrow\s*)}\s*=\s*HIGH_TEMPERATURES(;|\s+|\/\/)/g
)
);
```
`highToday` should be equal to `77` and `highTomorrow` should be equal to `80`.
```js
assert(highToday === 77 && highTomorrow === 80);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
const HIGH_TEMPERATURES = {
yesterday: 75,
today: 77,
tomorrow: 80
};
// Only change code below this line
const highToday = HIGH_TEMPERATURES.today;
const highTomorrow = HIGH_TEMPERATURES.tomorrow;
// Only change code above this line
```
# --solutions--
```js
const HIGH_TEMPERATURES = {
yesterday: 75,
today: 77,
tomorrow: 80
};
const { today: highToday, tomorrow: highTomorrow } = HIGH_TEMPERATURES;
```
