Algorithmic Coding Function

EasyPython

Problem

Write a function to solve an algorithmic problem using your preferred language.

The prompt does not specify the algorithm, input format, output format, constraints, or examples. A complete implementation cannot be graded until those details are supplied, so identify the missing contract before coding.

For this record, implement solve_algorithm(problem_statement) to return the clarification: Please provide the algorithm, input format, output format, and constraints.

Constraints

  • problem_statement is a string.
  • The prompt does not define an algorithm.
  • The prompt does not define input or output data shapes.
  • The prompt does not define performance constraints.
