## Use Destructuring Assignment to Pass an Object as a Function's Parameters
<!-- The article goes here, in GitHub-flavored Markdown. Feel free to add YouTube videos, images, and CodePen/JSBin embeds -->
You could pass the entire object, and then pick the specific attributes you want by using the `.` operator. But ES6 offers a more elegant option!
## Hint 1:
Get rid of the `stats`, and see if you can destructure it. We need the `max` and `min` of `stats`.
## Spoiler Warning - Solutions Ahead!
## Solution 1:
```javascript
const half = (function() {
"use strict"; // do not change this line
// change code below this line
return function half({max, min}) {
// use function argument destructuring
return (max + min) / 2.0;
};
// change code above this line
})();
```
Notice that we are destructuring `stats` to pass two of its attributes - `max` and `min` - to the function. Don't forget to the modify the second return statement. Change `stats.max` to just `max`, and change `stats.min` to just `min`.
## Solution 2:
Here is another solution that works. Not much of a difference, other than the fact that the function doesn't have a name.
```javascript
const half = (function() {
"use strict"; // do not change this line
// change code below this line
return (({max, min}) => {
// use function argument destructuring
return (max + min) / 2.0;
});
// change code above this line
})();
```
