// Define the 'when' function to conditionally apply a function to a value.
const when = (pred, whenTrue) => x => (pred(x) ? whenTrue(x) : x);

// Define a function 'doubleEvenNumbers' that doubles even numbers.
const doubleEvenNumbers = when(x => x % 2 === 0, x => x * 2);

// Test the 'doubleEvenNumbers' function with different inputs.
console.log(doubleEvenNumbers(2)); // Output: 4 (2 * 2)
console.log(doubleEvenNumbers(1)); // Output: 1 (unchanged)

Output:
