    /**
     * This is open book --- Hooray!
     * No, really - let's not think of this as a test, but just an assessment 
     * and ability for us to gauge some of your thought process, and approach to coding.
     *
     * Use whatever resources you'd like, and limit your time. This shouldn't be something
     * you spend all afternoon on, but maybe 10-15 minutes per exercise.
     *
     * hint: It may make sense to create a class of helpers to organize this

     * EXERCISE 1 *

    /**
     * Write a method or function which returns
     * the sum of two integers, with the caveat that if
     * the two integers are identical, the function
     * returns the integer's square.
     *
     * Input vals:
     * 1,2; 2,9; 4,4; 0,-5

    /**************
     * EXERCISE 2 *
     **************/

    /**
     * Write a method or function which takes a string and an integer
     * as arguments, and removes the character in the string whose place 
     * equals the integer.
     *
     * Bonus: Add the ability to remove a range of characters, given a 
     * second integer.
     *
     * Input values:
     * "ColoradoPublicRadio", 2; "ColoradoPublicRadio", 18; "ColoradoPublicRadio", 1

    /**************
     * EXERCISE 3 *
     **************/

    /**
     * Write a method or function which returns the Fibonacci sequence to 'n' places, 
     * where 'n' is an integer passed into the function as an integer.
     * This one's just in here for nostalgia, since there was a time when you couldn't avoid
     * this as an interveiw question. Have some fun with it, and if it's too easy, feel free to 
     * show off and add start/end ranges, or feel free to make both an "elegant" and an "expensive" solution.
