title: Use Destructuring Assignment to Assign Variables from Arrays
|
|
challengeType: 1
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
ES6 makes destructuring arrays as easy as destructuring objects.
|
|
One key difference between the spread operator and array destructuring is that the spread operator unpacks all contents of an array into a comma-separated list. Consequently, you cannot pick or choose which elements you want to assign to variables.
|
|
Destructuring an array lets us do exactly that:
|
|
<blockquote>const [a, b] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];<br>console.log(a, b); // 1, 2</blockquote>
|
|
The variable <code>a</code> is assigned the first value of the array, and <code>b</code> is assigned the second value of the array.
|
|
We can also access the value at any index in an array with destructuring by using commas to reach the desired index:
|
|
<blockquote>const [a, b,,, c] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];<br>console.log(a, b, c); // 1, 2, 5 </blockquote>
|
|
</section>
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
<section id='instructions'>
|
|
Use destructuring assignment to swap the values of <code>a</code> and <code>b</code> so that <code>a</code> receives the value stored in <code>b</code>, and <code>b</code> receives the value stored in <code>a</code>.
|
|
</section>
|
|
|
|
## Tests
|
|
<section id='tests'>
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
tests:
|
|
- text: Value of <code>a</code> should be 6, after swapping.
|
|
testString: assert(a === 6, 'Value of <code>a</code> should be 6, after swapping.');
|
|
- text: Value of <code>b</code> should be 8, after swapping.
|
|
testString: assert(b === 8, 'Value of <code>b</code> should be 8, after swapping.');
|
|
- text: Use array destructuring to swap a and b.
|
|
testString: // assert(/\[\s*(\w)\s*,\s*(\w)\s*\]\s*=\s*\[\s*\2\s*,\s*\1\s*\]/g.test(code), 'Use array destructuring to swap a and b.');
|
|
|
|
```

(() => {

"use strict";
