Problem 1: Greet Customers

Write a function called "greetCustomer".

Given a name, "greetCustomer" returns a greeting based on how many times that customer has visited the restaurant. Please refer to the customerData object.

The greeting should be different, depending on the name on their reservation.**

Case 1 - Unknown customer ( Name is not present in customerData ):

var output = greetCustomer('Terrance');
console.log(output); // --> 'Welcome! Is this your first time?'

Case 2 - Customer who has visited only once ( 'visits' value is 1 ):

var output = greetCustomer('Joe');
console.log(output); // --> 'Welcome back, Joe! We're glad you liked us the first time!'

Case 3 - Repeat customer: ( 'visits' value is greater than 1 ):

var output = greetCustomer('Carol');
console.log(output); // --> 'Welcome back, Carol! So glad to see you again!'

Notes:

• Your function should not alter the customerData object to update the number of visits.

• Do not hardcode to the exact sample data. This is a BAD IDEA:

    if (firstName === 'Joe') {
      // do something
    }
  

Starter Code :

var customerData = {
  'Joe': {
    visits: 1
  },
  'Carol': {
    visits: 2
  },
  'Howard': {
    visits: 3
  },
  'Carrie': {
    visits: 4
  }
};

function greetCustomer(firstName) {
  var greeting = '';
  
    // your code here
  
  return greeting;
}
