title: Use Destructuring Assignment to Pass an Object as a Function's Parameters
challengeType: 1
forumTopicId: 301217

## Description
<section id='description'>
In some cases, you can destructure the object in a function argument itself.
Consider the code below:
```js
const profileUpdate = (profileData) => {
const { name, age, nationality, location } = profileData;
// do something with these variables
}
```
This effectively destructures the object sent into the function. This can also be done in-place:
```js
const profileUpdate = ({ name, age, nationality, location }) => {
/* do something with these fields */
}
```
When <code>profileData</code> is passed to the above function, the values are destructured from the function parameter for use within the function.

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Use destructuring assignment within the argument to the function <code>half</code> to send only <code>max</code> and <code>min</code> inside the function.
</section>
## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: <code>stats</code> should be an <code>object</code>.
testString: assert(typeof stats === 'object');
- text: <code>half(stats)</code> should be <code>28.015</code>
testString: assert(half(stats) === 28.015);
- text: Destructuring should be used.
testString: assert(__helpers.removeWhiteSpace(code).match(/half=\({\w+,\w+}\)/));
- text: Destructured parameter should be used.
testString: assert(!code.match(/stats\.max|stats\.min/));
```

<div id='js-seed'>
```js
const stats = {
max: 56.78,
standard_deviation: 4.34,
median: 34.54,
mode: 23.87,
min: -0.75,
average: 35.85
};
// Only change code below this line
const half = (stats) => (stats.max + stats.min) / 2.0;
// Only change code above this line
```
</div>
</section>
## Solution
<section id='solution'>
```js
const stats = {
max: 56.78,
standard_deviation: 4.34,
median: 34.54,
mode: 23.87,
min: -0.75,
average: 35.85
};
const half = ( {max, min} ) => (max + min) / 2.0;
```
