title: Use the Rest Operator with Function Parameters
---
## Use the Rest Operator with Function Parameters
### Rest parameter explanation
[Mozilla Developer Network](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/rest_parameters "Mozilla Developer Network")
### Spread operator compared to rest parameter
[Stack overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33898512/spread-operator-vs-rest-parameter-in-es2015-es6 "Stack Overflow")
### Video explaining spread and rest

### Example
This code
```javascript
const product = (function() {
"use strict";
return function product(n1, n2, n3) {
const args = [n1, n2, n3];
return args.reduce((a, b) => a * b, 1);
};
})();
console.log(product(2, 4, 6));//48
```
Can be written as such
```javascript
const product = (function() {
"use strict";
return function product(...n) {
return n.reduce((a, b) => a * b, 1);
};
})();
console.log(product(2, 4, 6));//48
```
