Instructions

In this challenge, 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
• pigs = 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.

Examples

animals(2, 3, 5) ➞ 36

animals(1, 2, 3) ➞ 22

animals(5, 2, 8) ➞ 50

Notes

• Don't forget to return the result.
• The order of animals passed is animals(chickens, cows, pigs).
• Remember that the farmer wants to know the total number of legs and not the total number of animals.
