This is a made-up project that mimics some of the real world features that we work on. The goal of this project is to give you an introduction to the kinds of problems you'll be solving on this project.

• You should spend one hour on this.
• After the hour is up, please push all your changes to a branch called {your-name} here on github.
• Be prepared to present your features and discuss your code during an in-person interview.

Features to implement

• Accepts a search term on the command line
• Searches DuckDuckGo for given search term

     "url": "URL of the page in the search result",
     "desc": "Description of the page in the search result"
   }
