Question

Create a function called limitCalls that takes a function and a maximum number of calls as arguments. The function should return a closure that only invokes the original function up to the specified maximum number of times.

function logMessage(message) {
  console.log(message);
}

const limitedLogMessage = limitCalls(logMessage, 3);

limitedLogMessage('Hello'); // Output: Hello
limitedLogMessage('World'); // Output: World
limitedLogMessage('OpenAI'); // Output: Challenge
limitedLogMessage('Extra call'); // Output: Maximum number of calls reached!
