Hello World

// Usage example

// Usage example

}
const incrementByAtMostThrice = limit(incrementBy, 3);
console.log(incrementByAtMostThrice(2)); // i is now 3; The function returns 3.
console.log(incrementByAtMostThrice(3)); // i is now 6; The function returns 6.
console.log(incrementByAtMostThrice(4)); // i is now 10; The function returns 10.
console.log(incrementByAtMostThrice(5)); // i is still 10 as this is the 4th invocation; The function returns 10 as it's the result of the last invocation.

// Usage example
function func(num) {

}
const onced = once(func);
console.log(onced(1)); // => 1, func called with 1
console.log(onced(2)); // => 1, even 2 is passed, previous result is returned
To be or not to be
/**

// Usage example
expect(5).toBe(5); // Passes
expect(5).notToBe(6); // Passes
try {
expect(5).toBe(6); // Throws an error
} catch (error) {
