question = """
Given an array of people and their timezones in UTC, write a function to return the local 
time for a given person. Extra credit: add options for a 12 or 24 hour clock!

Example:

let humans = [
    { name: 'Clara', timezone: 'UTC−4:00' },
    { name: 'Cami', timezone: 'UTC−7:00' }
    { name: 'Ximena', timezone: 'UTC−5:00' }
]

$ localTime('Cami')
$ 10:26pm // This will change depending on when you run the function
