# --description--

Confronta e aggiorna l'inventario memorizzato in un array 2D rispetto ad un secondo array 2D che rappresenta una nuova consegna. Aggiorna le quantità attuali degli oggetti esistenti (in `arr1`). Se un oggetto non viene trovato, aggiungi il nuovo oggetto e la sua quantità nell'array dell'inventario. L'array di inventario restituito dovrebbe essere in ordine alfabetico per articolo.

# --hints--

La funzione `updateInventory` deve restituire un array.

```js
assert.isArray(
  updateInventory(
    [
      [21, 'Bowling Ball'],
      [2, 'Dirty Sock'],
      [1, 'Hair Pin'],
      [5, 'Microphone']
    ],
    [
      [2, 'Hair Pin'],
      [3, 'Half-Eaten Apple'],
      [67, 'Bowling Ball'],
      [7, 'Toothpaste']
    ]
  )
);
```

`updateInventory([[21, "Bowling Ball"], [2, "Dirty Sock"], [1, "Hair Pin"], [5, "Microphone"]], [[2, "Hair Pin"], [3, "Half-Eaten Apple"], [67, "Bowling Ball"], [7, "Toothpaste"]])` dovrebbe restituire un array di lunghezza di 6.

```js
assert.equal(
  updateInventory(
    [
      [21, 'Bowling Ball'],
      [2, 'Dirty Sock'],
      [1, 'Hair Pin'],
      [5, 'Microphone']
    ],
    [
      [2, 'Hair Pin'],
      [3, 'Half-Eaten Apple'],
      [67, 'Bowling Ball'],
      [7, 'Toothpaste']
    ]
  ).length,
  6
);
```

`updateInventory([[21, "Bowling Ball"], [2, "Dirty Sock"], [1, "Hair Pin"], [5, "Microphone"]], [[2, "Hair Pin"], [3, "Half-Eaten Apple"], [67, "Bowling Ball"], [7, "Toothpaste"]])` dovrebbe restituire `[[88, "Bowling Ball"], [2, "Dirty Sock"], [3, "Hair Pin"], [3, "Half-Eaten Apple"], [5, "Microphone"], [7, "Toothpaste"]]`.

```js
assert.deepEqual(
  updateInventory(
    [
      [21, 'Bowling Ball'],
      [2, 'Dirty Sock'],
      [1, 'Hair Pin'],
      [5, 'Microphone']
    ],
    [
      [2, 'Hair Pin'],
      [3, 'Half-Eaten Apple'],
      [67, 'Bowling Ball'],
      [7, 'Toothpaste']
    ]
  ),
  [
    [88, 'Bowling Ball'],
    [2, 'Dirty Sock'],
    [3, 'Hair Pin'],
    [3, 'Half-Eaten Apple'],
    [5, 'Microphone'],
    [7, 'Toothpaste']
  ]
);
```

`updateInventory([[21, "Bowling Ball"], [2, "Dirty Sock"], [1, "Hair Pin"], [5, "Microphone"]], [])` dovrebbe restituire `[[21, "Bowling Ball"], [2, "Dirty Sock"], [1, "Hair Pin"], [5, "Microphone"]]`.

```js
assert.deepEqual(
  updateInventory(
    [
      [21, 'Bowling Ball'],
      [2, 'Dirty Sock'],
      [1, 'Hair Pin'],
      [5, 'Microphone']
    ],
    []
  ),
  [
    [21, 'Bowling Ball'],
    [2, 'Dirty Sock'],
    [1, 'Hair Pin'],
    [5, 'Microphone']
  ]
);
```

`updateInventory([], [[2, "Hair Pin"], [3, "Half-Eaten Apple"], [67, "Bowling Ball"], [7, "Toothpaste"]])` dovrebbe restituire `[[67, "Bowling Ball"], [2, "Hair Pin"], [3, "Half-Eaten Apple"], [7, "Toothpaste"]]`.

```js
assert.deepEqual(
  updateInventory(
    [],
    [
      [2, 'Hair Pin'],
      [3, 'Half-Eaten Apple'],
      [67, 'Bowling Ball'],
      [7, 'Toothpaste']
    ]
  ),
  [
    [67, 'Bowling Ball'],
    [2, 'Hair Pin'],
    [3, 'Half-Eaten Apple'],
    [7, 'Toothpaste']
  ]
);
```

`updateInventory([[0, "Bowling Ball"], [0, "Dirty Sock"], [0, "Hair Pin"], [0, "Microphone"]], [[1, "Hair Pin"], [1, "Half-Eaten Apple"], [1, "Bowling Ball"], [1, "Toothpaste"]])` dovrebbe restituire `[[1, "Bowling Ball"], [0, "Dirty Sock"], [1, "Hair Pin"], [1, "Half-Eaten Apple"], [0, "Microphone"], [1, "Toothpaste"]]`.

```js
assert.deepEqual(
  updateInventory(
    [
      [0, 'Bowling Ball'],
      [0, 'Dirty Sock'],
      [0, 'Hair Pin'],
      [0, 'Microphone']
    ],
    [
      [1, 'Hair Pin'],
      [1, 'Half-Eaten Apple'],
      [1, 'Bowling Ball'],
      [1, 'Toothpaste']
    ]
  ),
  [
    [1, 'Bowling Ball'],
    [0, 'Dirty Sock'],
    [1, 'Hair Pin'],
    [1, 'Half-Eaten Apple'],
    [0, 'Microphone'],
    [1, 'Toothpaste']
  ]
);
```
