  • Document representative worked example ("banana") in SuffixArray Javadoc detailing initial rank assignment, prefix doubling stages, and the decisive state transition at k=2
  • Add regression tests verifying documented worked example execution and displayed output matching exact expected values
  • Cover smallest valid input (single-character string "a"), ordinary input, null input precondition check, and private constructor reflection contract
  • Add automated verification check runner work/R45-T007/check.py and verification evidence
  • 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 algorithms have a URL in their comments that points to Wikipedia or other similar explanations.
  • All new algorithms include a corresponding test class that validates their functionality.
  • All new code is formatted with clang-format -i --style=file path/to/your/file.java

Description

This pull request resolves task R45-T007 / Issue #7 by documenting and publishing an executable worked example for SuffixArray.java using the representative input "banana". The documentation explains the initial rank assignment, the rank doubling process ($k=1, 2, 4$), the decisive state transition at $k=2$ where all rank pairs become unique, and the final suffix index mapping. Corresponding regression tests assert the step-by-step invariants, display representations, smallest valid input fixture ("a"), null input preconditions, and reflection constructor instantiation.

Type of Change

  • Documentation update (improves documentation with executable worked example)
  • Tests (adds regression tests validating documented behavior and fixtures)
  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)

Changes Made

  1. Documentation (SuffixArray.java):

    • Expanded class-level Javadoc with an executable worked example for input "banana" (length $n = 6$).
    • Documented the initial single-character rank assignment based on character ordinal values ('a' -> 0, 'b' -> 1, 'n' -> 2).
    • Documented the iterative doubling stages ($k = 1, 2, 4$) and highlighted the decisive state transition at $k = 2$, where every suffix acquires a strictly unique rank pair, resolving the complete suffix ordering:
      • Suffix 5 ("a"): [5]
      • Suffix 3 ("ana"): [3]
      • Suffix 1 ("anana"): [1]
      • Suffix 0 ("banana"): [0]
      • Suffix 4 ("na"): [4]
      • Suffix 2 ("nana"): [2]
      • Resulting Suffix Array: [5, 3, 1, 0, 4, 2]
    • Formatted the final displayed output representation and documented time/space complexity ($O(n \log^2 n)$ / $O(n)$).
  2. Automated Unit & Regression Tests (SuffixArrayTest.java):

    • testSmallestValidInputFixture: Verifies the smallest valid non-empty string input ("a"), asserting returned suffix array is [0].
    • testDocumentedWorkedExampleBananaExecutionAndDisplayedOutput: Verifies the execution of "banana", checking that returned array indices match [5, 3, 1, 0, 4, 2], verifying sorted suffix substring ordering, and asserting the string representation matches the documentation.
    • testNullInputThrowsNullPointerException: Verifies boundary precondition behavior when null input is passed.
    • testPrivateConstructorContract: Reflection contract test verifying private constructor encapsulation.
  3. Automated Verification Harness (work/R45-T007/):

    • Implemented check.py runner logging environment metadata (Python 3.15, OpenJDK 21, Maven 3.10) and executing mvn test -Dtest=SuffixArrayTest.
    • Generated results.json and evidence.md confirming 10/10 tests passing with 0 failures, 0 errors, and 0 checkstyle violations.
