--description--

Given the current temperature of a room and a target temperature, return a string indicating how to adjust the room temperature based on these constraints:

• Return "heat" if the current temperature is below the target.
• Return "cool" if the current temperature is above the target.
• Return "hold" if the current temperature is equal to the target.

--hints--

adjustThermostat(68, 72) should return "heat".

assert.equal(adjustThermostat(68, 72), "heat");

adjustThermostat(75, 72) should return "cool".

assert.equal(adjustThermostat(75, 72), "cool");

adjustThermostat(72, 72) should return "hold".

assert.equal(adjustThermostat(72, 72), "hold");

adjustThermostat(-20.5, -10.1) should return "heat".

assert.equal(adjustThermostat(-20.5, -10.1), "heat");

adjustThermostat(100, 99.9) should return "cool".

assert.equal(adjustThermostat(100, 99.9), "cool");

adjustThermostat(0.0, 0.0) should return "hold".

assert.equal(adjustThermostat(0.0, 0.0), "hold");
