Answer 4

// Combine an object and array and return the structure

function getInfo() {
    return {
        user: {name: "Emma", age: 42, email: "emma@email.com"},
        stats: [5, 8, 9, 3]
    };
}

const { user, stats } = getInfo();

console.log(user); 
console.log(user.name); 
console.log(user.age);       
console.log(user.email);       

console.log(stats); 
console.log(stats[0]); 
console.log(stats[1]); 



/*
run:

{ name: 'Emma', age: 42, email: 'emma@email.com' }
Emma
42
emma@email.com
[ 5, 8, 9, 3 ]
