/**
 * 2822. Inversion of Object
 * https://leetcode.com/problems/inversion-of-object/
 * Difficulty: Easy
 *
 * Given an object or an array obj, return an inverted object or array invertedObj.
 *
 * The invertedObj should have the keys of obj as values and the values of obj as keys.
 * The indices of array should be treated as keys.
 *
 * The function should handle duplicates, meaning that if there are multiple keys in obj
 * with the same value, the invertedObj should map the value to an array containing all
 * corresponding keys.
 *
 * It is guaranteed that the values in obj are only strings.
