	// Dummy data
	var myMap = new Map();
	myMap.set("0", "foo");
	myMap.set(1, "bar");
	myMap.set({}, "baz");

	// entries() returns an array of arrays
	for (const entry of myMap.entries(myMap))
	console.log(entry)
	// Console output:

	// Use a rest argument to slurp remaining data
	function slurp (foo, bar, ...baz) {
	console.log(baz)
	}
	slurp(...new Array(10).fill('ha!'))

	// Read a range from an array using destructuring assignment
	const process = { argv: ['node', 'app.js', 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] }
	const [, , ...lol] = process.argv
	console.log(lol)

	var combos = [

	}

	const combos = [

	[4, 5, 6],
	[7, 8, 9]
	]
	// Iterate over array elements
	for (const combo of combos)
	console.log(combo)

	// Iterate over string characters

	console.log(
	new Array(10) // Create an array of 10 undefined elements
	.fill('foo') // Replace all the elements with the string 'foo'
	)
