Description

Student: ANIKET KUMAR NISHAD

Task: R50-T033 · 3 of 10
Repository: https://github.com/S-AI-Projects/TheAlgorithms-JavaScript
Assigned working branch: student/e26b07f0789

Goal

Work on Maths/ExponentialFunction.js. Compare exponentialFunction against a small independent reference for the same domain. Preserve the documented output type, shape, ordering and input-mutation behavior; compare fresh equivalent inputs under controlled external state. Fixture: Use the smallest valid input and one ordinary input for exponentialFunction from Maths/ExponentialFunction.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 Maths/ExponentialFunction.js, especially exponentialFunction near line 9. Record its public inputs, result, mutation behavior and any external dependencies before changing it.
  2. Write the simplest independently understandable oracle for small inputs, or calculate a fixed expected-result table when an oracle would duplicate the same algorithm.
  3. Enumerate at least 20 small valid inputs (or the entire domain if smaller) and compare outputs, ignoring only ordering the contract explicitly leaves unspecified.
  4. Implement work/R50-T033/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-T033/check.py. Save inputs, expected versus actual results and tool versions in work/R50-T033/; a check must exit non-zero when an assertion fails.
  6. Commit the repository change on branch R50-T033; prepare a PR to the organisation fork explaining the result and linking the checks. Keep each task independently reviewable. Remove work/R50-T033/ from a later upstream branch.

Done when

☐ The checked behavior is tied to exponentialFunction in Maths/ExponentialFunction.js; every assertion has an explicit expected value.
☐ Use the smallest valid input and one ordinary input for exponentialFunction from Maths/ExponentialFunction.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 oracle uses a different method or a reviewed explicit result table; it does not call the function under test.
☐ A mismatch is reduced to a minimal reproducible case and documented before any fix.

Additional task guidance

Additional curated task guidance

Item:
Maths/ExponentialFunction.js

Task type:
Independent reference comparison

Code change (goes into the PR):
Add reference-comparison regression tests for Maths/ExponentialFunction.js; explain one representative result in its source documentation.

Automated check:
python3 work/R50-T033/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.
