Assigned working branch: student/e26b07f0633

Goal

Work on Bit-Manipulation/IsPowerOfTwo.js. Identify the smallest supported domain around IsPowerOfTwo and make its boundary behavior explicit. Use the smallest valid input and one ordinary input for IsPowerOfTwo from Bit-Manipulation/IsPowerOfTwo.js. 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 IsPowerOfTwo from Bit-Manipulation/IsPowerOfTwo.js. 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

  1. Read Bit-Manipulation/IsPowerOfTwo.js, especially IsPowerOfTwo near line 25. Record its public inputs, result, mutation behavior and any external dependencies before changing it.
  2. Partition inputs into valid interior, valid boundary and explicitly unsupported values. Do not add rejection rules for behavior the source leaves undefined.
  3. Place one test on each side of a documented boundary, including the exact exception or sentinel only when specified.
  4. Implement work/R50-T022/check.py as a focused runner that executes the new checks and propagates failures. Native check to incorporate: run the repository test script in non-watch mode after installing from its lockfile; for browser-only code use a browser test instead of plain Node. Record the actual command and nonzero test count.
  5. Create the checks specified below and run python3 work/R50-T022/check.py. Save inputs, expected versus actual results and tool versions in work/R50-T022/; a check must exit non-zero when an assertion fails.
  6. Commit the repository change on branch R50-T022; prepare a PR to the organisation fork explaining the result and linking the checks. Keep each task independently reviewable. Remove work/R50-T022/ from a later upstream branch.

Done when

☐ The checked behavior is tied to IsPowerOfTwo in Bit-Manipulation/IsPowerOfTwo.js; every assertion has an explicit expected value.
☐ Use the smallest valid input and one ordinary input for IsPowerOfTwo from Bit-Manipulation/IsPowerOfTwo.js. 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 boundary table cites the source contract, and every supported boundary is asserted.
☐ No arbitrary TypeError/RangeError policy is imposed across unrelated functions.

Additional task guidance

Additional curated task guidance

Item:
Bit-Manipulation/IsPowerOfTwo.js

Task type:
Boundary cases

Code change (goes into the PR):
Bit-Manipulation/IsPowerOfTwo.js: document the supported boundary and add focused boundary tests; change guards only where the documented contract requires them.

Automated check:
python3 work/R50-T022/check.py

Prerequisites:
Node matching the project engines/CI, package manager selected by its lockfile, and Python 3.

Upstream PR rules:
Preserve the repository JavaScript style, use its test framework, and include JSDoc for changed public behavior. 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/JavaScript/blob/5c39e87a9a31f279c60f830ad74a845e4788a517/CONTRIBUTING.md

Change:
Replaces the shared task template with an item-specific contribution brief.

PR destination:
Upstream candidate after review
