--description--

Implement a function which:

• takes a positive integer representing a duration in seconds as input (e.g., 100), and
• returns a string which shows the same duration decomposed into weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds as detailed below (e.g., 1 min, 40 sec).

Demonstrate that it passes the following three test-cases:

Test Cases

Input number	Output number
7259	2 hr, 59 sec
728640059	1 d
6000000	9 wk, 6 d, 10 hr, 40 min

Details

• The following five units should be used:

  Unit	Suffix used in Output	Conversion
  week	wk	1 week = 7 days
  day	d	1 day = 24 hours
  hour	hr	1 hour = 60 minutes
  minute	min	1 minute = 60 seconds
  second	sec	---

• However, only include quantities with non-zero values in the output (e.g., return 1 d and not 0 wk, 1 d, 0 hr, 0 min, 0 sec).
• Give larger units precedence over smaller ones as much as possible (e.g., return 2 min, 10 sec and not 1 min, 70 sec or 130 sec).
• Mimic the formatting shown in the test-cases (quantities sorted from largest unit to smallest and separated by comma+space; value and unit of each quantity separated by space).

--hints--

convertSeconds should be a function.

assert(typeof convertSeconds === 'function');

convertSeconds(7259) should return 2 hr, 59 sec.

assert.equal(convertSeconds(testCases[0]), results[0]);

convertSeconds(86400) should return 1 d.

assert.equal(convertSeconds(testCases[1]), results[1]);

convertSeconds(6000000) should return 9 wk, 6 d, 10 hr, 40 min.

assert.equal(convertSeconds(testCases[2]), results[2]);
