Task: R51-T037 · 7 of 10
Repository: https://github.com/S-AI-Projects/javascript-algorithms
Assigned working branch: student/e26b07f0860
Goal
Work on src/algorithms/cryptography/polynomial-hash/PolynomialHash.js. Add an executable worked example explaining charCodes from input through intermediate state to the final result. Use the smallest valid input and one ordinary input for charCodes from src/algorithms/cryptography/polynomial-hash/PolynomialHash.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. Fixture: Use the smallest valid input and one ordinary input for charCodes from src/algorithms/cryptography/polynomial-hash/PolynomialHash.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 src/algorithms/cryptography/polynomial-hash/PolynomialHash.js, especially
charCodesnear line 23. Record its public inputs, result, mutation behavior and any external dependencies before changing it. - Calculate the intermediate states by hand and compare them with one traced execution.
- Use the language’s existing documentation conventions; ensure examples use the real public names and valid imports.
- Implement work/R51-T037/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/R51-T037/check.py. Save inputs, expected versus actual results and tool versions in work/R51-T037/; a check must exit non-zero when an assertion fails. - Commit the repository change on branch R51-T037; prepare a PR to the organisation fork explaining the result and linking the checks. Keep each task independently reviewable. Remove work/R51-T037/ from a later upstream branch.
Done when
☐ The checked behavior is tied to charCodes in src/algorithms/cryptography/polynomial-hash/PolynomialHash.js; every assertion has an explicit expected value.
☐ Use the smallest valid input and one ordinary input for charCodes from src/algorithms/cryptography/polynomial-hash/PolynomialHash.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 documentation example is executed by a check and its displayed output is asserted.
☐ The explanation identifies the decisive state transition rather than paraphrasing every line.

Item:
src/algorithms/cryptography/polynomial-hash
Task type:
Executable documentation
Code change (goes into the PR):
src/algorithms/cryptography/polynomial-hash/PolynomialHash.js: improve the existing docstring/JSDoc/Doxygen or neighboring README with a concrete example and expected output; add a test that executes that example.
Automated check:
python3 work/R51-T037/check.py
Prerequisites:
Node matching project CI, the project lockfile dependencies, and Python 3.
