Prompt

//1. Write a function that takes in a number, and returns a string with that many number of stars ("*").

After prompt number 1, you are given this :

function assert(expectedBehavior, descriptionOfCorrectBehavior) {
  if (!expectedBehavior) {
    console.log(descriptionOfCorrectBehavior);
  } else {
    console.log('test passed');
  }
}

Study the function, and use it to test the function you just wrote for prompt number 1.

//Your scouting manager only wants you to pay attention to players who get at least 6 rebounds per game. Create a function that returns an array of player names who fit this description.

var highReboundingPlayers = function(players){
    
}

//4. Right now your function looks for only players with 6 rebounds per game. Modify your function such that it takes in a target number and filters accordingly.

E.g.

highReboundingPlayers(allStars, 6); //returns a list of all-stars who get an average of at least 6 rebounds per game.

//5. Modify your function to take in a third argument that indicates which property you are interested in, and returns a filtered array based on this.
