In the video when we get the arguments from command line. Couldn't we not have use the destructuring?
const [,, ...users] = process.argv
in place of
const users = process.argv.slice(2);

3,795 PointsHi, can anyone please explain what "const [,, ...users] = process.argv" does as mention by Christopher? Is this a new syntax in ES2015? I'm not quite familiar with it yet. Thanks
Christopher Debove
Courses Plus Student 18,373 PointsYeah it is a new syntax of ES2015.
let [a, b, c] = [1, 2, 3]; // a = 1, b = 2, c = 3
let [a,, b] = [1, 2, 3]; // a = 1, b = 3
