# --description--
<dfn>Destructuring assignment</dfn> is special syntax introduced in ES6, for neatly assigning values taken directly from an object.
Consider the following ES5 code:
```js
const user = { name: 'John Doe', age: 34 };
const name = user.name;
const age = user.age;
```
`name` would have a value of the string `John Doe`, and `age` would have the number `34`.
Here's an equivalent assignment statement using the ES6 destructuring syntax:
```js
const { name, age } = user;
```
Again, `name` would have a value of the string `John Doe`, and `age` would have the number `34`.
Here, the `name` and `age` variables will be created and assigned the values of their respective values from the `user` object. You can see how much cleaner this is.
You can extract as many or few values from the object as you want.
# --instructions--
Replace the two assignments with an equivalent destructuring assignment. It should still assign the variables `today` and `tomorrow` the values of `today` and `tomorrow` from the `HIGH_TEMPERATURES` object.
# --hints--
You should remove the ES5 assignment syntax.
```js
assert(
!code.match(/today\s*=\s*HIGH_TEMPERATURES\.(today|tomorrow)/g)
);
```
You should use destructuring to create the `today` variable.
```js
assert(
code.match(/(var|let|const)\s*{\s*(today[^}]*|[^,]*,\s*today)\s*}\s*=\s*HIGH_TEMPERATURES(;|\s+|\/\/)/g)
);
```
You should use destructuring to create the `tomorrow` variable.
```js
assert(
code.match(/(var|let|const)\s*{\s*(tomorrow[^}]*|[^,]*,\s*tomorrow)\s*}\s*=\s*HIGH_TEMPERATURES(;|\s+|\/\/)/g)
);
```
`today` should be equal to `77` and `tomorrow` should be equal to `80`.
```js
assert(today === 77 && tomorrow === 80);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
const HIGH_TEMPERATURES = {
yesterday: 75,
today: 77,
tomorrow: 80
};
// Only change code below this line
const today = HIGH_TEMPERATURES.today;
const tomorrow = HIGH_TEMPERATURES.tomorrow;
// Only change code above this line
```
# --solutions--
```js
const HIGH_TEMPERATURES = {
yesterday: 75,
today: 77,
tomorrow: 80
};
const { today, tomorrow } = HIGH_TEMPERATURES;
```
