I bought many ikea products when I moved to a new place, only to be disappointed by all. The light bulbs create a hissing noise, so much to be unusable for bedroom and living room. I put then in the bathroom and storage. The app is much wor

I see the negativity in some comments, but I have to say: just because we have a format that works we don't have to suffer it's slightly annoying problems for eternity. This is a format that's very well defined, good decision

Consider a function that gets an array of integers and a positive number, and returns the sum of the array elements modulo the number. How can we prove using tests, that this always works for all possible values? Not discounting the value o
