Potential issue with solution to destructuring assignment problem

[amark16]

Tell us what’s happening:
I found an older thread that was addressing a potential issue with this destructuring problem. In the accepted solution, there seems to be no reference to the stats object. The solution passes, but I don’t understand why. Am I correct to believe that the argument should be const half = ({max, min} = stats) and not simply const half = ({max, min} )?
Your code so far

const stats = {
  max: 56.78,
  standard_deviation: 4.34,
  median: 34.54,
  mode: 23.87,
  min: -0.75,
  average: 35.85
};

// Only change code below this line
const half = ({max, min} = stats) => (max + min) / 2.0; 
// Only change code above this line

Challenge: Use Destructuring Assignment to Pass an Object as a Function’s Parameters

The example function is meant to work with any object which has keys min and max, you dont want to reference to the particular object. Like stated above, the function will accept an object as argument and the local variables in {min, max} will accept the values of the respective keys.

So if understood correctly, if I later want to call the function, that’s when I need to pass the object stats as a parameter? for example half(stats)?
Out of curiosity, how much harder does Javascript get, because sometimes I really need to focus and make my brain work hard to get these concepts down!
