Submission Instructions

• Kanban: Please add some basic planning on your Kanban board.
• Code: Submit the complete codebase for the backend and frontend to GitHub.
• Documentation: Include a README file with setup instructions, API endpoint documentation, and a brief explanation of the chosen function. Make sure that everything is deployed, and working correctly as expected.
• Demo: Details regarding the demo will be communicated separately.

Testing Instructions

Please write Mocha tests for the function you implement. Ensure that your tests cover all possible scenarios and edge cases.

You can add a GitHub badge to display the build status of your tests. Here is an example of how to add a badge to your README:

[![Build Status](https://img.shields.io/github/workflow/status/your-username/your-repo/CI)](https://github.com/your-username/your-repo/actions)

Replace your-username and your-repo with your GitHub username and repository name respectively.

It is a good recap exercise.
