Add "Add Unit Test" Exercise to JS2-1
Which module(s) and week(s) does this change effect? Module(s): JS2 Week(s): 1
What is the work that needs to be done?
By this point, the students will have had exposure to running tests and so the logical next step is for them to create their own tests that pass the code they've written.
The exercise should be added to
https://github.com/CodeYourFuture/JavaScript-Core-2-Coursework-Week1
The example solution should also be added to
https://github.com/CodeYourFuture/JavaScript-Core-2-Coursework-Week1-Solution
These new unit tests may simply be copy and pasting the current tests and changing the values to create new tests.
Why is this work important to do?
Teaching students more about unit testing is important to do as they'll need to be able to show these skills
Who might need to know about this change?

I've drafted something in https://github.com/CodeYourFuture/JavaScript-Core-2-Coursework-Week1/pull/152. I think it would be useful to discuss at the TDD call next week, as I think it may need some supporting changes to the syllabus.
