Create a function called MedalPoints which takes 3 inputs:

  • the number of gold medals won for a country
  • the number of silver medals won
  • the number of bronze medals won

Your function should return the points total for the country, according to the Wise Owl rule that you get 5 points for a gold, 3 for a silver and 1 for a bronze.
