--description--

Given a string representing a variable name, convert it to "spooky case" using the following constraints:

• Replace all underscores (_), and hyphens (-) with a tilde (~).
• Capitalize the first letter of the string, and every other letter after that. Ignore the tilde character when counting. Make all other letters lowercase.

For example, given hello_world, return HeLlO~wOrLd.

--hints--

spookify("hello_world") should return "HeLlO~wOrLd".

assert.equal(spookify("hello_world"), "HeLlO~wOrLd");

spookify("Spooky_Case") should return "SpOoKy~CaSe".

assert.equal(spookify("Spooky_Case"), "SpOoKy~CaSe");

spookify("TRICK-or-TREAT") should return "TrIcK~oR~tReAt".

assert.equal(spookify("TRICK-or-TREAT"), "TrIcK~oR~tReAt");

spookify("c_a-n_d-y_-b-o_w_l") should return "C~a~N~d~Y~~b~O~w~L".

assert.equal(spookify("c_a-n_d-y_-b-o_w_l"), "C~a~N~d~Y~~b~O~w~L");

spookify("thE_hAUntEd-hOUsE-Is-fUll_Of_ghOsts") should return "ThE~hAuNtEd~HoUsE~iS~fUlL~oF~gHoStS".

assert.equal(spookify("thE_hAUntEd-hOUsE-Is-fUll_Of_ghOsts"), "ThE~hAuNtEd~HoUsE~iS~fUlL~oF~gHoStS");
