title: Use Destructuring Assignment with the Rest Parameter to Reassign Array Elements
|

## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
In some situations involving array destructuring, we might want to collect the rest of the elements into a separate array.
|
|
The result is similar to <code>Array.prototype.slice()</code>, as shown below:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const [a, b, ...arr] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7];
|
|
console.log(a, b); // 1, 2
|
|
console.log(arr); // [3, 4, 5, 7]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Variables <code>a</code> and <code>b</code> take the first and second values from the array. After that, because of rest parameter's presence, <code>arr</code> gets rest of the values in the form of an array.
|
|
The rest element only works correctly as the last variable in the list. As in, you cannot use the rest parameter to catch a subarray that leaves out last element of the original array.

|
## Instructions
|
|
<section id='instructions'>
|
|
Use destructuring assignment with the rest parameter to perform an effective <code>Array.prototype.slice()</code> so that <code>arr</code> is a sub-array of the original array <code>source</code> with the first two elements omitted.

## Tests
|
|
<section id='tests'>
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
tests:
|
|
- text: <code>arr</code> should be <code>[3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]</code>
|
|
testString: assert(arr.every((v, i) => v === i + 3) && arr.length === 8);
|
|
- text: <code>Array.slice()</code> should not be used.
|
|
testString: getUserInput => assert(!getUserInput('index').match(/slice/g));
|
|
- text: Destructuring on <code>list</code> should be used.
|
|
testString: assert(code.replace(/\s/g, '').match(/\[(([_$a-z]\w*)?,){1,}\.\.\.arr\]=list/i));
|
|
|
|
```
