--description--

In a distant galaxy, parsecs are used to measure both time and distance. Given an integer number of parsecs, return its equivalent in time or distance.

• If the given integer is odd, it represents time. If it's even, it represents distance.

Use these conversion rates:

Parsecs	Time/Distance
1	2 hours
2	6 light years

Return the converted value as an integer.

--hints--

convertParsecs(1) should return 2.

assert.equal(convertParsecs(1), 2);

convertParsecs(2) should return 6.

assert.equal(convertParsecs(2), 6);

convertParsecs(31) should return 62.

assert.equal(convertParsecs(31), 62);

convertParsecs(88) should return 264.

assert.equal(convertParsecs(88), 264);

convertParsecs(17) should return 34.

assert.equal(convertParsecs(17), 34);

convertParsecs(14) should return 42.

assert.equal(convertParsecs(14), 42);

function convertParsecs(parsecs) {

  return parsecs;
}

--solutions--

function convertParsecs(parsecs) {
  if (parsecs % 2 !== 0) {
    return parsecs * 2;
  } else {
    return parsecs * 3;
  }
}
