# Extra values during destructuring an array in JavaScript

If the array has less elements than variables, then `undefined` will be written into the "extra" variables:

`let arr = [2025, 12]; let [year, month, day] = arr; console.log(year); // shows 2025 console.log(month); // shows 12 console.log(day); // shows undefined`

If there are more elements in the array than variables, the extra elements will not be written anywhere and nothing bad will happen. For example, let's add hours, minutes and seconds to our array - nothing will change from this:

`let arr = [2025, 12, 31, 23, 59, 59]; let [year, month, day] = arr; console.log(year); // shows 2025 console.log(month); // shows 12 console.log(day); // shows 31`
