Strong panels hand the candidate a wrong answer and ask what breaks. These two drills rehearse exactly that: six flawed properties and six flawed claims, each shown as written, then dissected. Read the flawed version first, name the defect aloud before reading on, and check whether your correction matches: defect, effect, and the runnable repair where one exists.
Lesson | After it you can... |
|---|---|
Find the defect in six flawed properties and write the runnable correction. | |
Correct six false claims about results, induction, cones, liveness, convergence, and equivalence. |
Suggested order: properties first, then claims. The property drill fixes notation and operator reading; the claims drill fixes result vocabulary. Both assume the whiteboard framework and link back to the lessons that prove each correction.
Because panels grade the diagnosis, not the rewrite: a candidate who says assignment-instead-of-comparison before touching the code has already earned the mechanism marks.
