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
- Read Maths/ExponentialFunction.js, especially
exponentialFunctionnear line 9. Record its public inputs, result, mutation behavior and any external dependencies before changing it. - Write the simplest independently understandable oracle for small inputs, or calculate a fixed expected-result table when an oracle would duplicate the same algorithm.
- Enumerate at least 20 small valid inputs (or the entire domain if smaller) and compare outputs, ignoring only ordering the contract explicitly leaves unspecified.
- 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.
- 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. - 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.

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.
