"""
Inside conditions.json, you will see a subset of UNSW courses mapped to their 
corresponding text conditions. We have slightly modified the text conditions
to make them simpler compared to their original versions.

Your task is to complete the is_unlocked function which helps students determine 
if their course can be taken or not. 

We will run our hidden tests on your submission and look at your success rate.
We will only test for courses inside conditions.json. We will also look over the 
code by eye.

NOTE: We do not expect you to come up with a perfect solution. We are more interested
in how you would approach a problem like this.
