Can i use variable names that do not match the keyword in the object. The only way I can make this work is to use make
variable name same as the keyword from the object. I would of thought I could use any variable name.

Code:
const person ={
  firstName: "SpongeBob",
  lastName: "Square",
  age: 30,
  job: "Fry Cook",
}

const {fName, lName, ag} = person
console.log(fName);    //undefined

Hi there,
When destructuring an object, the variable names must match the variable names in the object
