Task: R50-T045 · 5 of 10
Repository: https://github.com/S-AI-Projects/TheAlgorithms-JavaScript
Assigned working branch: student/e26b07f0827
Goal
Work on String/CheckRearrangePalindrome.js. Control the external state used while testing palindromeRearranging. For a pure function, verify repeated calls and input isolation; for time, randomness, network or UI code, inject or mock the relevant dependency. Fixture: Use 0, 7, 121, 120 and 1221 for an integer interface, or "", "a", "aba", "ab" and "abba" for a string interface. Specify whether normalization is part of this function before comparing with reversal.
Steps
- Read String/CheckRearrangePalindrome.js, especially
palindromeRearrangingnear line 9. Record its public inputs, result, mutation behavior and any external dependencies before changing it. - Identify every observable dependency used by this item; explicitly state when none exists.
- Run the same fixture twice in fresh isolated state and once after another valid input; assert that earlier runs cannot alter the later result.
- Implement work/R50-T045/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-T045/check.py. Save inputs, expected versus actual results and tool versions in work/R50-T045/; a check must exit non-zero when an assertion fails. - Commit the repository change on branch R50-T045; prepare a PR to the organisation fork explaining the result and linking the checks. Keep each task independently reviewable. Remove work/R50-T045/ from a later upstream branch.
Done when
☐ The checked behavior is tied to palindromeRearranging in String/CheckRearrangePalindrome.js; every assertion has an explicit expected value.
☐ Use 0, 7, 121, 120 and 1221 for an integer interface, or "", "a", "aba", "ab" and "abba" for a string interface. Specify whether normalization is part of this function before comparing with reversal.
☐ Existing supported behavior and the public interface are preserved unless a failing regression demonstrates and documents a defect.
☐ The focused test works without live network access, a real user account or GUI interaction.
☐ Any introduced dependency parameter has a default preserving current callers.
Additional task guidance
Additional curated task guidance
Item:
String/CheckRearrangePalindrome.js
Task type:
Deterministic execution
Code change (goes into the PR):
String/CheckRearrangePalindrome.js: make the smallest dependency seam needed for deterministic checks, or add repeatability/input-isolation regression tests if it is already pure.
Automated check:
python3 work/R50-T045/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.
