Pruthviraj Gojare — R23-T042: Property tests for conversions/octal_to_hexadecimal.py #43

Description

@ankushbisht01

Student: Pruthviraj Gojare

Task: R23-T042 · 2 of 10
Repository: https://github.com/S-AI-Projects/TheAlgorithms-Python
Assigned working branch: student/e26b07f0834

Goal

Use Hypothesis to test the code against a trusted reference or a mathematical property over thousands of random inputs. Reference: hex(int(s, 8)). Properties: matches the reference for every valid octal string; invalid strings raise.

Steps

  1. Write test_octal_to_hexadecimal_properties.py in work/R23-T042/ using hypothesis strategies.
  2. Implement the property/reference checks described in the goal.
  3. Run it; if Hypothesis finds a failing input, reduce it to a minimal example and either fix the code (with a doctest) or document the limitation.
  4. Explain each property in PROPERTIES.md.
  5. Make the code change in the repository: conversions/octal_to_hexadecimal.py: doctests for the inputs the property test exercised (leading zeros, '0o' prefix handling, invalid digits). Re-run the automated check and the repo's own tests afterwards.
  6. Prepare the PR: on branch R23-T042, commit the code change plus your work/R23-T042/ evidence, put your findings in the PR description and open the PR against the org fork. For a later upstream PR, create a second branch containing only the code change (no work/ folder).

Done when

☐ Property test: octal_to_hex(s) matches hex(int(s, 8)) (in the function's documented output format) for every valid octal string; invalid strings raise.
☐ conversions/octal_to_hexadecimal.py gains doctests for leading zeros, the '0o' prefix and invalid digits (8, 9).
☐ Existing 5 doctests and 3 raise paths unchanged.

Item:
conversions/octal_to_hexadecimal.py (65 lines; 5 doctests)

Task type:
Property-based testing

Code change (goes into the PR):
conversions/octal_to_hexadecimal.py: doctests for the inputs the property test exercised (leading zeros, '0o' prefix handling, invalid digits).

Automated check:
uv run --with hypothesis pytest work/R23-T042/

Prerequisites:
Linux/WSL2/Codespaces with uv (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/); run uv sync --group=test once – it installs the Python version CI uses (.python-version = 3.15t) and the test dependencies, about 1–2 GB

Upstream PR rules:
Follow CONTRIBUTING.md: type hints on every parameter/return, doctests for valid and erroneous input, snake_case file names, no duplicate of an existing implementation, no hand edits to DIRECTORY.md. CI (pytest with doctests, ruff) must pass – bots close PRs without tests or type hints. Keep work/ (benchmarks, notes, property tests) out of the upstream branch; put results in the PR description.
