This page requires that you also open the Trust but Verify Starter File.
A "helpful" Data Scientist gives you access to the following function:
# fixed-cats :: Table -> Table
# consumes a table of animals, and produces a table containing only cats that have been fixed, sorted from youngest-to-oldest
You can use the function, but you can’t see the code for it! How do you know if you can trust their code?
-
You could make a verification subset that contains one of every species, and make sure that the function filters out everything but cats.
-
You could make sure this subset has multiple cats not already ordered youngest-to-oldest, and make sure the function puts them in the right order.
1 What other qualities would this subset need to have?
2 Create your verification subset! In the space below, list the name of each animal in your subset.
