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
- Read Bit-Manipulation/IsPowerOfTwo.js, especially
IsPowerOfTwonear line 25. Record its public inputs, result, mutation behavior and any external dependencies before changing it. - Partition inputs into valid interior, valid boundary and explicitly unsupported values. Do not add rejection rules for behavior the source leaves undefined.
- Place one test on each side of a documented boundary, including the exact exception or sentinel only when specified.
- 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.
- 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. - 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
