38. A farmer is asking you to tell him how many legs can be counted among all his animals. The farmer breeds three species:
chickens = 2 legs
cows = 4 legs
goats = 4 legs
The farmer has counted his animals and he gives you a subtotal for each species. You have to implement a function that returns the total number of legs of all the animals.
function animals(chickens, cows, goats){
      //Write Your solution Here
};

console.log(animals(2, 3, 5)) // 36

console.log(animals(5, 2, 8)) // 50
Solution
function animals(chickens, cows, goats){
    return chickens*2 + cows*4 + goats*4;
