Reviewer Prompt

When implementing algorithms, ensure they perform exactly the operations needed without introducing unintended side effects or limitations. Verify all calculations produce correct results and avoid assumptions that restrict applicability.

Three common mistakes to avoid:

  1. Adding arbitrary constants or modifiers that distort results
    // Incorrect: Arbitrary constant distorts the percentage
    const percentage = 300 + (usage / MAX_EVENTS_FREE_PLAN) * 100;
       
    // Correct: Calculate the actual percentage
    const percentage = (usage / MAX_EVENTS_FREE_PLAN) * 100;
    
  2. Using overly broad operations that may affect unintended elements
    // Incorrect: Removes ALL 'metrics' segments
    const segments = folder.filter(segment => segment !== 'metrics');
       
    // Correct: Only removes 'metrics' if it's the last segment
    const segments = folder[folder.length - 1] === 'metrics' ? folder.slice(0, -1) : folder;
    
  3. Introducing unnecessary constraints that limit applicability
    // Incorrect: Forces minimum of 1, unsuitable for fractional values
    const roundTo = Math.max(1, Math.pow(10, magnitude) / 5);
       
    // Correct: Allows appropriate scaling for all value ranges
    const roundTo = Math.pow(10, magnitude) / 5;
    

Ensure your algorithms precisely target the intended elements and handle all possible input values correctly.
