function generateOutput(data) {
    const { questions, comments, replies } = data;
    // CODE HERE
    let output = [];
  questions.map((i)=>{
      comments.map((c)=>{
        const reply = replies.filter((r)=>r.commentId===c.commentId)
        if(c.questionId===i.questionId){
          output.push({questions:i,comments:c,replies:reply})
        }
