// const declares a constant, meaning its value will remain 
// consistant and not change. 
// If your variable changes throughout the program or website, 
// declare it using a var statement. 
// Otherwise, if its value does not change, declare it using 
// a const statement.

makes it possible to unpack values from arrays, or properties from objects,
  into distinct variables.*/

  [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
  console.log(name);// output someone
  console.log(weight);//output 500pounds

/*
var a = array[0];
var b = array[1]
var name = object.name;
var weight = object.weight;
