ES6 - Use Destructuring Assignment to Assign Variables from Objects

function getLength(str) {
“use strict”;

// change code below this line
const length = 0; // change this
// change code above this line

return len; // you must assign length to len in line

}

console.log(getLength(‘FreeCodeCamp’));

Hi,
The instructions for this challenge are a little hard to understand. Below is a link to a post I made the other day about this. Hope that helps some

Ok so you need to assign the length of the str to len ,keep in mind only assign the length of str.
ex:

const { x : a} = vowel

where a is the varible to store the vowel x and vowel itself is the varibale from which we are using the vowel x.
Just think for a while it it.

Thanks this was really helpful!

Having a string object as the introduction to destructuring assignment is pretty confusing.

Essentially, to solve this, you need to first know that the string have properties, and sort of think of them as key:value pairs. I don’t remember when we were shown in depth how the string object works.

Thanks!

Now I see that it mentioned length as a property, which could be easily overlooked. The next part to wrap my head around was associating property as a key value pair.

I think the above makes this lesson’s task extra convoluted, given that it was a start of another concept.
