There was a problem hiding this comment.
Not entirely sure if we should use this as the TOP solution, just because I don't believe it's something introduced to users at the point they're asked to do this exercise (believe it's the lesson they're first introduced to arrays).
Maybe we could add a comment that shows this method as an alternative.

Because
I believe this way of swapping the values between variables in JavaScript is better for learners to know about since it is more common and reinforces understanding on array destructuring
This PR
