Calls the argument if it's a function, otherwise returns it.

• Use the typeof operator to check if the given argument is a function.
• If it is, use the spread operator (...) to call it with the rest of the given arguments. Otherwise, return it.

const callOrReturn = (fn, ...args) =>
  typeof fn === 'function' ? fn(...args) : fn;

callOrReturn(x => x + 1, 1); // 2
callOrReturn(1, 1); // 1
