Calculates the date after adding the given number of business days.
- Use `Array.from()` to construct an array with `length` equal to the `count` of business days to be added.
- Use `Array.prototype.reduce()` to iterate over the array, starting from `startDate` and incrementing, using `Date.prototype.getDate()` and `Date.prototype.setDate()`.
- If the current `date` is on a weekend, update it again by adding either one day or two days to make it a weekday.
- **NOTE:** Does not take official holidays into account.
```js
const addWeekDays = (startDate, count) =>
Array.from({ length: count }).reduce(date => {
date = new Date(date.setDate(date.getDate() + 1));
if (date.getDay() % 6 === 0)
date = new Date(date.setDate(date.getDate() + (date.getDay() / 6 + 1)));
return date;
}, startDate);
```
```js
addWeekDays(new Date('Oct 09, 2020'), 5); // 'Oct 16, 2020'
addWeekDays(new Date('Oct 12, 2020'), 5); // 'Oct 19, 2020'
```
