Destructuring Assignment

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:

I already passed the challenge by putting a and b value separate but the question is: Why when I put [a, b] = [6, 8]; does not work?

Your code so far


let a = 8, b = 6;
(() => {
  "use strict";
  // change code below this line
  [a] = [6];
  [b] = [8];
  // change code above this line
})();
console.log(a); // should be 6
console.log(b); // should be 8

actually I think you need to swap the value of a and b insted of just assign new values to them.
