 // Let's define how invert should work
 
+
 // Given an object
 // When invert is passed this object
 // Then it should swap the keys and values in the object
 
+
 // E.g. invert({x : 10, y : 20}), target output: {"10": "x", "20": "y"}

 function invert(obj) {
   const invertedObj = {};
 
   for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(obj)) {

 // a) What is the current return value when invert is called with { a : 1 }
+// Answer: { "1": "a" }
+
 
 // b) What is the current return value when invert is called with { a: 1, b: 2 }
+// Answer: { "1": "a", "2": "b" }
+
 
 // c) What is the target return value when invert is called with {a : 1, b: 2}
+// Answer: { "1": "a", "2": "b" }
+
 
 // c) What does Object.entries return? Why is it needed in this program?
+// Answer: Object.entries(obj) returns an array of [key, value] pairs,
+// It is needed so we can loop over the object and easily get both key and value in the for...of loop using array destructuring: [key, value].
+
 
 // d) Explain why the current return value is different from the target output
+// Answer: In this implementation, the current return value already matches the target output, because we correctly use the value as the new key
+// and the key as the new value: invertedObj[value] = key.
+
 
 // e) Fix the implementation of invert (and write tests to prove it's fixed!)
+// Answer: No changes needed to the implementation; it already works as required.
