javascript - Destructuring array get second value?

Question

How to get array using destructing?

const num = [1,2,3,4,5];
const [ first ] = num; //1

console.log(first) I'm able to get 1, but when I try to do const [ null, second ] = num it has expected token error. How to get 2nd item of num array?

Answer 1

You can skip parametr name just by putting comma

var num = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
var [ ,x] = num;
