--description--

In a distant galaxy, parsecs are used to measure both time and distance. Given an integer number of parsecs, return its equivalent in time or distance.

• If the given integer is odd, it represents time. If it's even, it represents distance.

Use these conversion rates:

Parsecs	Time/Distance
1	2 hours
2	6 light years

Return the converted value as an integer.

--hints--

convert_parsecs(1) should return 2.

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(convert_parsecs(1), 2)`)
}})

convert_parsecs(2) should return 6.

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(convert_parsecs(2), 6)`)
}})

convert_parsecs(31) should return 62.

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(convert_parsecs(31), 62)`)
}})

convert_parsecs(88) should return 264.

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(convert_parsecs(88), 264)`)
}})

convert_parsecs(17) should return 34.

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(convert_parsecs(17), 34)`)
}})

convert_parsecs(14) should return 42.

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(convert_parsecs(14), 42)`)
}})
