Query string is a way to serialize object, which is used in HTTP requests. You may see it in URL:

codewars.com/kata/search/?q=querystring

The part q=querystring represents that parameter q has value querystring. Also sometimes querystring used in HTTP POST body:

POST /api/users
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

username=warrior&kyu=1&age=28

The string username=warrior&kyu=1&age=28 represents an entity (user in this example) with username equals warrior, kyu equals 1 and age equals 28. The entity may be represented as object:

{
  "username": "warrior",
  "kyu": 1,
  "age": 28
}

Sometimes there are more than one value for property:

{
  "name": "shirt",
  "colors": [ "white", "black" ]
}

Then it represents as repeated param:

name=shirt&colors=white&colors=black

So, your task is to write a function that convert an object to query string:

to_query_string({ "bar": [ 2, 3 ], "foo": 1 }) # => "bar=2&bar=3&foo=1"

toQueryString({ foo: 1, bar: [ 2, 3 ] }) // => "foo=1&bar=2&bar=3"

to_query_string({ "bar": [ 2, 3 ], "foo": 1 }) // => "bar=2&bar=3&foo=1"

to_query_string({ "bar": [ 2, 3 ], "foo": 1 }) # => "bar=2&bar=3&foo=1"
