This lesson will walk through how to format estimated reading time in a more visually engaging way with emojis. In this method we'll use array methods like .fill() and .join() format the estimated reading time to return a formatted string with emojis representing the total reading time.

The result of this lesson is transforming the reading time for articles from appearing like "15 min read" to "🍿🍿🍿 15 min read"
