Given the following code snippet: ```typescript let info = { name: "Alex", skill: ["git", "react", "read"], }; let started = (info: any) => { let { name, skill } = info; (name = "Alex Pool"), skill.push("delete"); return { name, skill, online: true, }; }; ``` Explain what the function `started` does with the `info` object and describe the output of calling `started(info)`. Also, discuss if the original `info` object is mutated after calling `started(info)`.

The started function takes an info object, destructures the name and skill properties from it. Then it reassigns the local variable name to "Alex Pool" and adds the string "delete" to the skill array. After that, it returns a new object with the updated name, the modified skill array, and an additional property online: true.

It is important to note that the skill array in the original info object is mutated — a new element "delete" is added to it. However, the name property in the original object does not change because the assignment name = "Alex Pool" only affects the local variable, not the object property.

Example output:

let result = started(info);
console.log(result);
// { name: "Alex Pool", skill: ["git", "react", "read", "delete"], online: true }

console.log(info.skill);
// ["git", "react", "read", "delete"]  // changed

console.log(info.name);
// "Alex"  // unchanged

Thus, the function returns a new object with an updated name and online flag, but it modifies the original skill array within the info object.
