Criteria | Meet Specification |
---|---|
Correctness |
Code produces the correct solution to the question. There are also no runtime or compile time errors. |
Style |
Code is neat and easy-to-read. Variables, functions, and methods have straightforward names. There is enough spacing that code is easily readable. |
Simplicity |
Code solution is not unnecessarily complex—it accomplishes the task at hand without extra iterating, algorithms, data structures, et cetera. |
Testing
Criteria | Meet Specification |
---|---|
Test Cases |
At least three test inputs and outputs are provided. There are at least two that test for edge cases, like null or empty inputs, or very large numbers. |
Explanation
Criteria | Meet Specification |
---|---|
Efficiency |
There is a clear and accurate statement of efficiency in time and space. There is an explanation that specifically mentions parts of the code that contribute to the overall efficiency. |
Code Design |
Explanation contains some discussion of design choices made in the code. Some examples include the choice of algorithm and data structure. |
Readability |
Explanation is written with proper English. Wording is clear and easy to understand. It’s okay to make a couple mistakes, but thoughts should be clearly expressed overall. |
