Demonstration: 3. Test, notice, revise

Check the boundary cases, explain what changed, and choose the next small experiment.

Test, notice, revise
THE IDEA, THEN THE DETAILS
In this piece

This final demonstration lesson closes the reading-list exercise. A useful experiment ends with a checkable observation and a next step, even when the result is small.

Check the edges

Change the first article to exactly ten minutes: it should still appear. Set read to true: it should disappear. Make every article longer than ten minutes: the result should be an empty list.

Read the result

An empty list is a valid result. It means no article matches the question. A reading interface could explain that plainly and offer a longer time limit, rather than showing a blank space.

Choose the next question

Would you rather sort the matches by time or choose one at random? Pick one change and explain how you would know it works. Return to the previous lesson to try your variation.
