Description

This pull request refactors NonRepeatingNumberFinder to simplify and isolate the sequential bitwise XOR accumulation responsibility into an extracted reduceXor helper method with self-documenting naming, while locking down regression behavior across edge cases and fixtures.

Related Issue

Fixes: #6

Type of Change

  • Refactoring / Maintenance
  • Tests
  • Documentation
  • Bug Fix
  • New Feature
  • UI/UX Improvement
  • Performance Improvement
  • CI/CD

Changes Made

  • Extracted private static helper method reduceXor(int[] arr) in src/main/java/com/thealgorithms/bitmanipulation/NonRepeatingNumberFinder.java isolating bitwise accumulation from the public API entry point.
  • Renamed accumulator variable from result to descriptive xorSum.
  • Expanded src/test/java/com/thealgorithms/bitmanipulation/NonRepeatingNumberFinderTest.java with tests covering:
    • Smallest valid input fixture (new int[] {} returning 0).
    • Smallest non-empty valid input fixture (new int[] {12} returning 12).
    • Ordinary input workflow fixture (new int[] {2, 3, 5, 2, 3} returning 5).
    • Negative numbers and pairwise cancellation (new int[] {-42, 99, -42} returning 99).
    • Null input precondition check asserting NullPointerException.
    • Private constructor reflection contract.
  • Added automated check runner work/R45-T006/check.py and saved verification evidence in work/R45-T006/results.json and work/R45-T006/evidence.md.

Testing

All changes have been validated locally using JDK 21 and Maven:

  • mvn test -Dtest=NonRepeatingNumberFinderTest (Tests run: 15, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0)
  • mvn checkstyle:check (0 Checkstyle violations)
  • python3 work/R45-T006/check.py (All checks and refactoring assertions passed successfully)

Checklist

  • I have tested my changes locally.
  • I have added or updated tests, if needed.
  • I have updated documentation, if needed.
  • I have followed the project's coding guidelines.
  • I have run the relevant tests and checks.
  • I have addressed previous review feedback, if applicable.
  • I have read CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • This pull request is all my own work -- I have not plagiarized it.
  • All filenames are in PascalCase.
  • All functions and variable names follow Java naming conventions.
  • All new code adheres to repository style conventions and passes mvn checkstyle:check.

Additional Notes

  • Precondition lines establishing input requirements are explicitly cited in both the test methods and work/R45-T006/evidence.md.
  • Automated check runner can be verified anytime with python3 work/R45-T006/check.py.

…onRepeatingNumberFinder (R45-T006)

- Extract reduceXor helper method separating public API entry point from sequential XOR accumulation
- Rename accumulator from generic result to self-documenting xorSum
- Add regression tests covering smallest valid input (empty array and single element), ordinary input documentation fixture [2, 3, 5, 2, 3], negative numbers, null precondition, and reflection contract
- Add automated verification check runner work/R45-T006/check.py and verification evidence
