```

`lastFriday(2018, 1)` should return `26`.

```js
assert.equal(lastFriday(2018, 1), 26);
```

`lastFriday(2017, 2)` should return `24`.

```js
assert.equal(lastFriday(2017, 2), 24);
```

`lastFriday(2012, 3)` should return `30`.

```js
assert.equal(lastFriday(2012, 3), 30);
```

```

`lastFriday(2000, 5)` should return `26`.
