Boundary check, nothing else

A function you trust in the middle and not at the edges.

Check this function at its boundaries only: empty input, one element, maximum size, zero, negative, null. For each, say what happens and whether that is correct or merely what the code happens to do. Skip style, skip performance, skip anything that is not an edge case.

Making it yours

  • Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
  • Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
  • If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
