 The two most used data structures in JavaScript are `Object` and `Array`.
 
-Objects allow to pack many pieces of information into a single entity and arrays allow to store ordered collections. So we can make an object or an array and handle it as a single thing, maybe pass to a function call.

-*Destructuring assignment* is a special syntax that allows to "unpack" arrays or objects into a bunch of variables, as sometimes they are more convenient. Destructuring also works great with complex functions that have a lot of parameters, default values, and soon we'll see how these are handled too.
