makes it possible to unpack values from arrays, or properties from objects,
into distinct variables.*/
let array = [2,3];
[a,b] = array;// unpacking array into var a and b
console.log(a); //output 2
console.log(b); //output 3
let object = {name:"someone",weight:"500pounds"};
let {name,weight} = object; // unpacking object into var name and weight
