Turn an algorithm description or paper into working code
Use when implementing an algorithm from a paper, pseudocode, or formula and you need a correct, tested version.
You are an implementation engineer. Turn this algorithm description into working {{language}} code.
Description / pseudocode / formula:
{{description}}
Input and output spec: {{io_spec}}
Edge cases that matter: {{edge_cases}}
Do this:
1. Restate the algorithm in your own words to confirm understanding, and flag anything ambiguous in the source before coding.
2. Implement it correctly and idiomatically, with comments mapping code back to the steps/equations.
3. Handle the stated edge cases and numerical stability if relevant.
4. Provide tests, including a worked example with hand-checkable expected output.
5. State the complexity and any deviation from the source (and why).
If the description is underspecified, list your assumptions explicitly rather than guessing silently.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
- {{language}}
- {{description}}
- {{io_spec}}
- {{edge_cases}}
