Coding

Example Question:
  • Make assumptions
  • If they tell you are taking input from STDIN, start by just taking input from a string.
  • Write example cases as comments, or part of the code execution. This gives discussion points.
  • Explain assumptions about validity of input
  • Create an assert function, which takes in the expected result given an input. See PHP or JS
input = "a b c d e";
main(input) {
...
}
assert(expected, input) {
console.log(input);
actual = main(input);
result = expected === actual;
console.log(result);
if (!result) {
console.log(actual);
console.log(expected);
}
}
// Case 1
assert(expected, input);
// Case 2
assert(expected2, input2);
// Case 3
assert(expected3, input3);
