Aniruddha Bongale — R50-T049: Measure the work done by AddTwoNumbers (AddTwoNumbers.js) [Data-Structures/Linked-List/AddTwoNumbers.js] #49

Task: R50-T049 · 9 of 10
Repository: https://github.com/S-AI-Projects/TheAlgorithms-JavaScript
Assigned working branch: student/e26b07f0827

Goal

Work on Data-Structures/Linked-List/AddTwoNumbers.js. Measure the scaling of AddTwoNumbers on valid inputs while checking correctness. Distinguish algorithm operations from process startup, I/O and compilation. Fixture: Construct three distinct nodes A→B→C and the smallest supported list. Check values and node links separately so a value-only comparison cannot hide a broken link.

Steps

1. Read Data-Structures/Linked-List/AddTwoNumbers.js, especially AddTwoNumbers near line 16. Record its public inputs, result, mutation behavior and any external dependencies before changing it.
2. Define input size for this algorithm. Select three increasing sizes within a short CPU-only run; use operation counts if timing is dominated by overhead or the domain is fixed.
3. Use fixed seeds, fresh inputs and five repetitions per size. Check outputs outside the timed interval and report median plus range.
4. Implement work/R50-T049/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-T049/check.py. Save inputs, expected versus actual results and tool versions in work/R50-T049/; a check must exit non-zero when an assertion fails.
6. Commit the repository change on branch R50-T049; prepare a PR to the organisation fork explaining the result and linking the checks. Keep each task independently reviewable. Remove work/R50-T049/ from a later upstream branch.

Done when

☐ The checked behavior is tied to AddTwoNumbers in Data-Structures/Linked-List/AddTwoNumbers.js; every assertion has an explicit expected value.
☐ Construct three distinct nodes A→B→C and the smallest supported list. Check values and node links separately so a value-only comparison cannot hide a broken link.
☐ Existing supported behavior and the public interface are preserved unless a failing regression demonstrates and documents a defect.
☐ The complexity statement names its input-size variable and distinguishes worst-case claims from observations.
☐ No pass/fail threshold depends on wall-clock speed; all measured cases pass correctness checks.
