# --description--
[Knight's Tour](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight%27s_tour)Problem: You have an empty `w` \* `h` chessboard, but for a single knight on some square. The knight must perform a sequence of legal moves that result in the knight visiting every square on the chessboard exactly once. Note that it is *not* a requirement that the tour be "closed"; that is, the knight need not end within a single move of its start position.
# --instructions--
Write a function that takes `w` and `h` as parameters and returns the number of initial positions from where it is possible to achieve the task stated above.
# --hints--
`knightTour` should be a function.
```js
assert(typeof knightTour == 'function');
```
`knightTour(6, 6)` should return a number.
```js
assert(typeof knightTour(6, 6) == 'number');
```
`knightTour(6, 6)` should return `35`.
```js
assert.equal(knightTour(6, 6), 35);
```
`knightTour(5, 6)` should return `20`.
```js
assert.equal(knightTour(5, 6), 20);
```
`knightTour(4, 6)` should return `10`.
```js
assert.equal(knightTour(4, 6), 10);
```
`knightTour(7, 3)` should return `4`.
```js
assert.equal(knightTour(7, 3), 4);
```
`knightTour(8, 6)` should return `47`.
```js
assert.equal(knightTour(8, 6), 47);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
function knightTour(w, h) {
}
```
# --solutions--
```js
