Use Destructuring Assignment to Pass an Object as a Function's Parameters(Unexpected Error)

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:

I am trying to complete this challenge by destructing the object inside the function call parameters but when I do so by using

return function half({
    max : stats.max,
    min : stats.min
  })

but i get an error thrown in the console:

SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected token, expected ,

Any suggestions on what might be happening

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
};
const half = (function() {
  "use strict"; // do not change this line

  // change code below this line
  return function half({
    max : stats.max,
    min : stats.min
  }) {
    // use function argument destructuring
    return (max + min) / 2.0;
  };
  // change code above this line

})();
console.log(stats); // should be object
console.log(half(stats)); // should be 28.015

when you destructure an object you do

let obj = {
   x: 56,
   y: 67
}

let {x, y} = obj; // this is destructuring

as you are doing destructuring in place the only part needed of destructuring is that inside the graph parenthesis
