Assigned working branch: student/e26b07f0855
Goal
Work on src/main/java/com/thealgorithms/dynamicprogramming/ClimbingStairs.java. Add an executable worked example explaining ClimbingStairs from input through intermediate state to the final result. Use the smallest valid input and one ordinary input for ClimbingStairs from src/main/java/com/thealgorithms/dynamicprogramming/ClimbingStairs.java. Write the literal inputs and independently calculated expected outputs in the tests before editing the implementation. The check must name the source line establishing each precondition. Fixture: Use the smallest valid input and one ordinary input for ClimbingStairs from src/main/java/com/thealgorithms/dynamicprogramming/ClimbingStairs.java. Write the literal inputs and independently calculated expected outputs in the tests before editing the implementation. The check must name the source line establishing each precondition.
Steps
- Read src/main/java/com/thealgorithms/dynamicprogramming/ClimbingStairs.java, especially
ClimbingStairsnear line 22. Record its public inputs, result, mutation behavior and any external dependencies before changing it. - Calculate the intermediate states by hand and compare them with one traced execution.
- Use the language’s existing documentation conventions; ensure examples use the real public names and valid imports.
- Implement work/R45-T027/check.py as a focused runner that executes the new checks and propagates failures. Native check to incorporate: mvn test (JDK 21 as specified in pom.xml); use JUnit in the corresponding src/test/java package. Record the actual command and nonzero test count.
- Create the checks specified below and run
python3 work/R45-T027/check.py. Save inputs, expected versus actual results and tool versions in work/R45-T027/; a check must exit non-zero when an assertion fails. - Commit the repository change on branch R45-T027; prepare a PR to the organisation fork explaining the result and linking the checks. Keep each task independently reviewable. Remove work/R45-T027/ from a later upstream branch.
Done when
☐ The checked behavior is tied to ClimbingStairs in src/main/java/com/thealgorithms/dynamicprogramming/ClimbingStairs.java; every assertion has an explicit expected value.
☐ Use the smallest valid input and one ordinary input for ClimbingStairs from src/main/java/com/thealgorithms/dynamicprogramming/ClimbingStairs.java. Write the literal inputs and independently calculated expected outputs in the tests before editing the implementation. The check must name the source line establishing each precondition.
☐ Existing supported behavior and the public interface are preserved unless a failing regression demonstrates and documents a defect.
☐ The documentation example is executed by a check and its displayed output is asserted.
☐ The explanation identifies the decisive state transition rather than paraphrasing every line.

Item:
src/main/java/com/thealgorithms/dynamicprogramming/ClimbingStairs.java
Task type:
Executable documentation
Code change (goes into the PR):
src/main/java/com/thealgorithms/dynamicprogramming/ClimbingStairs.java: improve the existing docstring/JSDoc/Doxygen or neighboring README with a concrete example and expected output; add a test that executes that example.
Automated check:
python3 work/R45-T027/check.py
Prerequisites:
JDK 21, Maven and Python 3.
Upstream PR rules:
Follow the Java style and Maven checks. The project does not accept standalone LeetCode problem additions; a new feature requires an upstream issue first. Submit coursework to the organisation fork first; keep work/ evidence out of any later upstream PR. Upstream acceptance is not a grading requirement. Policy: https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Java/blob/6edd2d878947c7fb08a6f3286b316eca09fe9200/CONTRIBUTING.md
Change:
Replaces the shared task template with an item-specific contribution brief.
PR destination:
Upstream candidate after review
