How to Write a Coding Question |
Begin with a clear and concise problem statement. Describe the task or challenge that needs to be solved. Use backticks (`) to highlight important terms or variables. For example:
The problem involves implementing a function calculateSum that takes two integers a and b as input and returns their sum.
You can provide alternative phrasings or additional context separated by <sep> tags. This allows for randomly selecting one version when presenting the question.
Ensure that all necessary information is included in each version of the problem statement.
Specify the function signature in the following format:
return_type: [return type] name: [function name] arguments: [argument1 name] -> [argument1 type], [argument2 name] -> [argument2 type], ...
List any constraints or limitations for the problem. Use bullet points and backticks for specific values or ranges:
1 <= n <= 10^5- All input numbers are integers.
- The output should be rounded to two decimal places.
Provide at least two examples in the following format:
input: [input values]
output: [expected output]
explanation: [Clear explanation of how the output is derived from the input]
input: [another set of input values]
output: [expected output]
explanation: [Explanation for this example]
Include several test cases in this format:
input: [input values without backticks] output: [expected output]
input: [another set of input values] output: [expected output]
Hidden Test Cases
Add hidden test cases that won't be visible to the user, following the same format as the visible test cases:
input: [hidden input values] output: [hidden expected output]
input: [another set of hidden input values] output: [hidden expected output]
